Gannon Jacobson Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Southeast of Saline's Gannon Jacobson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jacobson rushed for 207 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 125 yards and three touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win for Southeast of Saline keeps them at an undefeated 5-0. Jacobson and Southeast of Saline will head out to take on Hillsboro at 5:03 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Nickolas Kendall Leads Republic County over Herington
On Friday, Republic County got the W thanks in part to Nickolas Kendall playing the best football he has all season. Kendall rushed for 83 yards, and also picked up 31 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Republic County's win ended a six-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 2-3. Kendall and Republic County will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Valley Heights at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
