Great Lakes - West (8 Man) 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!
Lane Gorzinski Goes Supernova in North Central Victory
Lane Gorzinski's big game helped extend North Central's winning streak to seven on Friday. Gorzinski was dynamite, rushing for 235 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per carry, and also throwing for 71 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Gorzinski could be in store for another big game when he takes on Forest Park on Friday. Gorzinski rushed for 95 yards and four touchdowns, and also picked up 32 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in October of 2023.
