This Week's Top Player Performances from Across the League
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!
Ja'keith Daniels Delivers Electric Performance Vs Snook
Starting off the list is Somerville's Ja'Keith Daniels, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Daniels rushed for 98 yards and three scores on only eight carries, and also picked up 131 receiving yards and a pair of TDs. His longest reception was for an impressive 66 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per catch total.
Somerville's win was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 3-1. Daniels and the Yeguas will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Iola at 7:00 p.m. on October 3.
