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!
Zachary Katz Delivers Electric Effort Vs University Christian
Starting off the list is True North Classical Academy's Zachary Katz, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Katz threw for 356 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. Those 107 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Katz and True North Classical Academy will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against King's Academy at 6:30 p.m. on October 18th. The last time Katz took on the Lions, he threw for 140 yards and a touchdown while completing 76.9% of his passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
