This Week's Top Player Performances from Across the League
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!
A Season-Best Effort from Roscoe Shaw Leads Conrad over Wolf Point/Frazer/Lustre Christian
Conrad was led to victory by Roscoe Shaw, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Shaw rushed for 145 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also caught a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 63 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Conrad's victory ended a five-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 4-4. Shaw will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Wolf Point on Friday.

Blaine Downing's Big Game Leads Malta/Whitewater/Saco/Dodson over Cut Bank
Malta/Whitewater/Saco/Dodson picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Blaine Downing. Downing was unstoppable, rushing for 105 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.
Cut Bank had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Downing it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Downing saw the Wolves), he rushed for 208 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.4 yards per carry.

Gamas Came Up Big in Glasgow/Hinsdale/Nashua's 32-6 Win
Khye Gamas was instrumental in extending Glasgow/Hinsdale/Nashua's winning streak to three on Friday. Gamas was unstoppable, rushing for 108 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, while also throwing for 87 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making a tackle and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
For the season, Gamas has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 108.1 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 35.70
Mason Simanton and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Mason Simanton's big game helped extend Malta/Whitewater/Saco/Dodson's winning streak to eight on Friday. Simanton picked up 50 receiving yards and two touchdowns, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. He didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended two passes.
For the year, Simanton has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 32.9 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one receiving touchdown.
Gamescore: 29.67
Malta/Whitewater/Saco/Dodson picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Stockton Oxarart. Cut Bank had no answer to Oxarart as he threw for 166 yards and three touchdowns. Oxarart didn't just play on offense: he also made two total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
Oxarart is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Fairfield/Augusta on Friday. When Oxarart last faced the back in October of 2023, he threw for 308 yards and four touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes.
