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!
Big Game from Robinson As Walhalla Won 49-7
Starting off the list is Walhalla's Landon Robinson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Robinson rushed for 162 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Robinson might have his next game, a home matchup with West-Oak, circled on his calendar. Robinson rushed for 206 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in October of 2023.
