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!
Jeremiah Foster Turns in Season-Best Performance
Globe was led to victory by Jeremiah Foster, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Foster rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made six total tackles (4.0 for loss).
The win made it two in a row for Globe and bumps their season record up to 3-5. Foster and Globe will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Alchesay at 7:00 p.m. on October 24th.

Jaeger Franco Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Friday, Globe got the W thanks in part to Jaeger Franco playing the best football he has all season. Franco rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 168 yards and two touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for Globe: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
On the year, Franco has thrown 3 touchdowns while averaging 72.5 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 16.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 26.88 rushing yards.

Sam Winters Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Sam Winters posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead St. Johns over Miami on Friday. Winters picked up 127 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 75 yards. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 71 yards.
St. Johns now has a losing record at 3-4. Winters and St. Johns will host Chinle at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
