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!
Arthur Mcqueen Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Stanhope Elmore got the W thanks in part to Arthur Mcqueen playing the best football he has all season. Mcqueen rushed for 420 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 20.0 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 85-yard run.
Stanhope Elmore pushed their record up to 4-4 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Mcqueen will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Wetumpka on Friday.

Wetumpka Gets a Boost from Godwin in 42-9 Win
Wetumpka picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Justin Godwin. Park Crossing had no answer to Godwin as he forced a fumble, made 13 total tackles, and defended three passes. Godwin also punched in two rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Wetumpka is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
Wetumpka pushed their record up to 5-3 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Godwin's next contest is against Stanhope Elmore on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
