North Central AA Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Gannon Jacobson Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Southeast of Saline's Gannon Jacobson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jacobson rushed for 207 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 125 yards and three touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory for Southeast of Saline keeps them at an undefeated 5-0. Jacobson will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Hillsboro on Friday.

Ellsworth Gets a Boost from Johnson in 14-6 Win
Landin Johnson's big game helped extend Ellsworth's winning streak to five on Friday. Johnson did his part (and then some), rushing for 111 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 111 rushing yards dating back to last season.
