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!
Mark Zackery Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Ben Davis's Mark Zackery, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Zackery's receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 104 receiving yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making six total tackles.
For the year, Zackery has averaged 5.6 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after 11 games last season, he had four receiving touchdowns. This year he is already up to 12.

A Season-Best Performance from Joe Goss Leads Ben Davis over Brownsburg
Sadly, Joe Goss posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Ben Davis over Brownsburg on Friday. Goss threw for 303 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 12.6 yards per attempt. His passing game has become a key predictor of Ben Davis' success: the team is 4-2 when his passer rating is 110 or higher, but only 1-4 otherwise.
On the season, Goss has thrown 20 touchdowns while averaging 181 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 0.44 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 7.33 rushing yards.

JAMES CLARK Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Warren Central got the W thanks in part to JAMES CLARK playing the best football he has all season. CLARK rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 56 yards.
The win was the fourth in a row for Warren Central, bringing their record for this year to 10-1. CLARK and Warren Central will face off against Center Grove at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Lawrence North Wins 11th-Straight Thanks to Breck Mallory
Breck Mallory was instrumental in extending Lawrence North's winning streak to 11 on Friday. Mallory was dynamite, making ten total tackles (2.0 for loss) and snagged an interception, both of which were returned for scores.

Lawrence North pushed their record up to 11-0 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Mallory and Lawrence North will square off against Brownsburg at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
