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!
Broderick Vehrs Delivers Electric Performance Vs Hamilton
Starting off the list is Basha's Broderick Vehrs, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Vehrs threw for 277 yards and two touchdowns while completing 78.3% of his passes, and also rushed for 50 yards and a touchdown.
Basha pushed their record up to 6-1 with the win, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season. Vehrs and Basha will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Chandler at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

Gio Richardson Delivers Best Performance of Season
Gio Richardson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Basha to the win on Friday. Richardson picked up 183 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 89 yards.
Unfortunately for Hamilton, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Richardson. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Richardson saw the Huskies), he picked up 151 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

Casteel Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Paul Palmer
Paul Palmer's big game helped extend Casteel's winning streak to three on Friday. Perry had no answer to Palmer as he threw for 211 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 31 yards.
Palmer is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Chandler on Friday. Palmer rushed for 58 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 199 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Wolves duked it out back in September of 2023.
