Elk River Gets a Boost from Schmidt in 41-7 Win
Starting off the list is Elk River's Gavin Schmidt, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Schmidt rushed for 137 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack, forced two fumbles, and made five total tackles (2.0 for loss).
This season, Schmidt has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 85.2 rushing yards per game.

Brecken Keoraj Goes Supernova in Elk River Victory
Keeping Schmidt company is Brecken Keoraj, a fellow Elk River player. He rushed for 130 yards and four touchdowns on only 13 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 130 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Rogers's probably not too fond of Keoraj given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Keoraj saw the Royals), he rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
