Macomb Area - Red 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!
Hanson Iii Made His Presence Known in Anchor Bay's 24-21 Defeat
Starting off the list is Anchor Bay's Gerry Hanson Iii, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hanson Iii picked up 93 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Hanson Iii must have Chippewa Valley's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Hanson Iii saw the Big Reds), he picked up 232 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 29.12
Dakota was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Brady Hamby did his best to prevent it. Hamby was dynamite, making four total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Dakota moved to 6-1 with that defeat, which also ended their six-game winning streak. Hamby will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Utica on Friday.
Gamescore: 27.87
Anchor Bay Gets a Boost from Lafear in 24-21 Loss
Ryan Lafear put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He threw for 203 yards and two touchdowns on only 16 passes.
