Metropolitan 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!
Jeremiah Giles Delivers Electric Performance Vs Cordova
Starting off the list is McClatchy's Jeremiah Giles, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Giles rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.1 yards per carry. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
McClatchy's loss was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-5. Giles and McClatchy will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on West Park at 7:15 p.m. on October 18th.
