Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Travis Hull Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Reynolds's Travis Hull, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Thursday Hull made six total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 119 or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
On the year, Hull has averaged 5.8 total tackles per game.

Arnold Made His Presence Known in Gresham's 61-21 Loss
Liam Arnold posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. He rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries, and also threw for 130 yards on nine of 16 attempts. His longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Gresham is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5. Arnold and Gresham will host Nelson at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Caden Mcmahon Leads Sandy over Gresham
On Thursday, Sandy got the W thanks in part to Caden Mcmahon playing the best football he has all season. Mcmahon rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the season, Mcmahon has averaged 17.3 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to five.

Mataio Olomua Makes It Two for Sandy
Keeping Mcmahon company is Mataio Olomua, a fellow Sandy player. He rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries.
For the season, Olomua has averaged 22 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 31 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 121.83 rushing yards.
