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!
Griffin Jr. Came Up Big in Hanover's 57-6 Victory
Starting off the list is Hanover's Thomas Griffin Jr., who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Griffin Jr. rushed for 185 yards and six scores on only 12 carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing two fumbles and making 17 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
The win got Hanover back to even at 2-2. Looking ahead, Griffin Jr. and the Hornets will look to defend their home field on Friday against Deer Trail at 7:00 p.m.

Ismael Perla Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Ismael Perla posted a new career-high in rushing touchdowns on Friday. He rushed for 210 yards and four scores while picking up 11.7 yards per carry. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.2 rushing touchdowns per game. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 63 yards.
Coming up, Perla and Bethune will host Flagler at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. The Bobcats had to take a loss when they last met the Panthers, but Perla had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 111 yards on only six carries, and also caught one TD. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Angel Millan Makes It Two for Bethune

This season, Millan has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 57.8 passing yards per game.

For the year, Hussein has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 49 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 36.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 115.75 rushing yards.
