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!
Ace Monihen Has Career-Day on Friday
Starting off the list is Council Grove's Ace Monihen, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Monihen rushed for 200 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Council Grove's victory was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-1. Monihen and Council Grove will face off against St. Marys at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
