Sunshine State - Central (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!
Donahue Catholic Gets a Boost from Cantwell in 29-28 Loss
Starting off the list is Donahue Catholic's Leo Cantwell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cantwell rushed for 166 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.7 yards per carry, and also picked up 40 receiving yards.
Cantwell might have his next game, a home matchup with Foundation Christian Academy, circled on his calendar. Cantwell rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in September of 2023.
Gamescore: 67.18
Clay Lindsay was a major factor in Geneva Classical Academy's win over Academy at the Lakes on Friday. Academy at the Lakes had no answer to Lindsay as he made four total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Geneva Classical Academy's victory bumped their record up to 7-2. Lindsay will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Babcock on Friday.

The second Geneva Classical Academy player making an appearance here is Luke Franklin, and for good reason. He picked up 61 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making two total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
