1A Rocky Mountain (8 Man) 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!
Ryan Demcowicsz Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Watersprings's Ryan Demcowicsz, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Demcowicsz picked up 175 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 62 yards.
Watersprings is on a seven-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6. Demcowicsz and Watersprings will play host again on Friday to welcome Mackay, where kickoff is scheduled at 4:00 p.m.

Korban Nelson Makes It Two for Watersprings
Another Watersprings player making an appearance on this list is Korban Nelson. He threw for 240 yards and three touchdowns.
This year, Nelson has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 204 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 5.4 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 45.8 rushing yards.

Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles from Sean Perry
Another Watersprings player making an appearance on this list is Sean Perry. He wasn't messing around on Friday, making seven total tackles and defending five passes in addition to snagging an interception. The game was his third straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season. With that strong performance, he is now averaging an impressive 1.2 defended passes per game.
On the year, Perry has averaged 5.2 total tackles per game.

While North Gem might've come up empty on Friday, Rusty Hatch wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the loss, Hatch was still balling out as he rushed for 66 yards.
Hatch and North Gem will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against Rockland at 4:00 p.m. The last time Hatch took on the Bulldogs, he rushed for 135 yards, and also threw for 69 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Craig Yost Makes It Two for North Gem
Keeping Hatch company is Craig Yost, a fellow North Gem player. He rushed for 81 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Yost might just drop another big game when he faces off against Rockland on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Yost saw the Bulldogs), he rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries.
