Schmidt Made His Presence Known in Lubbock T's 52-6 Victory
Starting off the list is Lubbock T's Korbin Schmidt, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Schmidt rushed for 144 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries, and also caught a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also made four total tackles and defended two passes.
Lubbock T pushed their record up to 4-4 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Schmidt and Lubbock T will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Varsity Opponent at 6:00 p.m. on October 31st.

A Season-Best Performance from Peyton Ellison Leads Harvest Christian Academy over Johnson County Sports Association
Harvest Christian Academy was led to victory by Peyton Ellison, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Ellison picked up 137 receiving yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 36 yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making nine total tackles and defending two passes.
Ellison must have Johnson County Sports Association's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Ellison last faced the Lions back in November of 2023, he picked up 112 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.

Sam Tarrant and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
King's Academy picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Sam Tarrant. Tarrant was unstoppable, rushing for 94 yards and three touchdowns, while also throwing for 34 yards and two touchdowns. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more rushing touchdowns the last three times he's played.
For the season, Tarrant has thrown 16 touchdowns while averaging 82.3 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 15.57 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 92.14 rushing yards.

CenTex HomeSchool was led to victory by Scott Dosa, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Dosa rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also picked up 78 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He has become a key player for CenTex HomeSchool: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 0-4 otherwise.
CenTex HomeSchool moved to 2-5 with that victory, which also ended their five-game losing streak. Dosa and CenTex HomeSchool will head out to challenge Westlake Academy at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
