Bronwyn Rios Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Reed's Bronwyn Rios, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Rios rushed for 217 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.8 yards per carry. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August.

Brandon Mann Dazzles in Bishop Manogue Victory
Brandon Mann's big game helped extend Bishop Manogue's winning streak to seven on Friday. Reed had no answer to Mann as he rushed for 195 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.5 yards per carry, and also threw for 141 yards and two touchdowns. The dominant performance gave Mann a new career-high in rushing yards.
Mann must have Reed's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Mann last faced the Raiders back in October, he threw for 233 yards and three touchdowns while completing 79.2% of his passes, and also rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.

Masina Came Up Big in Bishop Manogue's 35-28 Victory
Pele Masina's big game helped extend Bishop Manogue's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Masina as he rushed for 143 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.9 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 59 yards.
Unfortunately for Reed, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Masina. When Masina last faced the Raiders back in October, he rushed for 189 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry.
