Southern Central - Red (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!
Owen Gorham Dazzles in Mendon Win
Owen Gorham's big game helped extend Mendon's winning streak to six on Friday. Gorham was dynamite, rushing for 256 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 11.1 yards per carry. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Gorham might just drop another big game when he faces off against St. Philip Catholic Central on Saturday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Gorham saw the Fighting Tigers), he rushed for 177 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.0 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 94.08
Big Game from Keson As Bellevue Fell 66-42
Seth Keson continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his fourth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 177 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.4 yards per carry, and also threw for 145 yards and two touchdowns.
If history really does repeat itself, Keson might just drop another big game when he faces off against Climax-Scotts on Friday. When Keson last faced the Panthers back in September of 2023, he rushed for 132 yards, and also threw for 110 yards and two touchdowns.

James T Lux and Co. Win Sixth in a Row

If the past is any indication, T Lux could be in store for another big game when he takes on St. Philip Catholic Central on Saturday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time T Lux saw the Fighting Tigers), he rushed for 199 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries.
