Downriver 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!
Conner Ensign Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Anderson's Conner Ensign, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ensign rushed for 101 yards and four touchdowns on only eight carries, and also picked up 104 receiving yards.
Anderson is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. Ensign and Anderson will challenge Lincoln Park at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 60.65
While Joe Krolak delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Carlson. Krolak was dynamite, rushing for 176 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.8 yards per carry, and also throwing for 151 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an incredible 79 yards.
The defeat snapped Carlson's losing streak at five games and leaves them with a 5-1 record. Krolak's next matchup is against Woodhaven on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
Gamescore: 47.27
Jackson Steel Sage Makes It Two for Anderson
Another Anderson player making an appearance on this list is Jackson Steel Sage. He picked up 54 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 70 yards.
This year, Steel Sage has averaged 150.2 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 1.17 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging nine receiving yards.

Rooney Posts Huge Game in 28-14 Win
Ashton Rooney continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his ninth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 116 rushing yards. He rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns.
Rooney and Trenton will square off against Allen Park at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Trojans had to take a loss when they last met the Jaguars, but Rooney had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown, and also caught a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
