Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Stanton Wins 21st-Straight Thanks to Barrett Wilke
Barrett Wilke was instrumental in extending Stanton's winning streak to 21 on Friday. Wilke was dynamite, rushing for 162 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, while also throwing for 85 yards and two touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his 14th straight game with at least 124 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Stanton's win was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-0. Wilke and Stanton will face off against Clarkson/Leigh at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Michael Koenig Delivers Electric Performance Vs Elkhorn Valley
Michael Koenig was instrumental in extending Summerland [Clearwater/Ewing/Orchard]'s winning streak to four on Friday. Koenig was dynamite, rushing for 85 yards and three touchdowns, while also throwing for 101 yards and two touchdowns.
Koenig and Summerland [Clearwater/Ewing/Orchard] will face off against Elkhorn Valley at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Bobcats got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Falcons, probably because Koenig had a solid game then too: he rushed for 85 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 101 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance?

Another Game with at Least 102 Rushing Yards from Becker Pohlman

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Jacson King stepped things up a notch to give Plainview the 'W'. King was dynamite, rushing for 110 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, while also picking up 32 receiving yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 50 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the season, King has averaged 21.5 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 9.38 receiving yards per game.
