D1 District 7 (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Souerdyke Posts Huge Game in 60-18 Victory
Starting off the list is Thayer Central's Sam Souerdyke, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Souerdyke rushed for 209 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making six total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging two interceptions.
Thayer Central has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Souerdyke and Thayer Central will venture away from home to face off against Exeter-Milligan/Friend at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Sandy Creek Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Ethan Shaw
Ethan Shaw was instrumental in extending Sandy Creek's winning streak to seven on Friday. Shaw was dynamite, rushing for 106 yards and three touchdowns, while also throwing for 183 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 passes. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Exeter-Milligan/Friend had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Shaw it was a similar story. When Shaw last faced the Bobcats back in September of 2023, he rushed for 85 yards and four touchdowns, and also threw for 247 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per attempt.

Connor Rempe Goes Supernova in Sandy Creek Victory
Sandy Creek picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Connor Rempe. Nobody could stop Rempe as he picked up 38 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 33 yards.
Rempe must have Exeter-Milligan/Friend's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Rempe saw the Bobcats), he picked up 119 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 51 yards.

Sutton now has a winning record of 4-3. Huxoll and Sutton will challenge Tri County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
