Brock Burkett Delivers Electric Performance Vs Byron Nelson
Starting off the list is Keller's Brock Burkett, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Burkett rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 185 yards on 14 of 28 attempts. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
This year, Burkett has averaged 65.2 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after four games last season, he was only averaging 24.48 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 60.8 passer rating.

Nathanial Jean Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Nathanial Jean posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. He rushed for 175 yards and a touchdown. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (102.8) per game.
The win for Northwest keeps them at an undefeated 6-0. Jean will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Southlake Carroll on Thursday.

Big Game from Penn As Southlake Carroll Won 50-14
Davis Penn's big game helped extend Southlake Carroll's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Penn was unstoppable, rushing for 131 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries.
