See Journey Brown's epic rushing performance, the best in the nation.

One game and one player provided most of the top single-game performances during the 2015 high school football season.

The one game is the 107-90 outing between Meadville (Pa.) and DuBois (Pa.). Journey Brown of Meadville led his team to a win by rushing for 722 yards, 10 touchdowns and 68 points. All three totals rank as the best outings of the season in those categories. Meanwhile, DuBois quarterback Matt Miller had the highest passing yardage total (787 yards) and tied for the most touchdowns (10). DuBois receiver Colin Read ranked third in receiving yardage with 362.

The one player is Alex Huston of Glendale (Springfield, Mo.). Just a sophomore, Huston was a regular in MaxPreps' weekly stat stars feature. He had six of the top eight totals for passing completions this year and he also had four of the top 10 passing attempts totals. Huston also had the sixth-highest passing total with 625 yards, and he tied for the second-highest touchdown pass total with nine (which he accomplished twice).

The list of top single-game performances only includes those stats that were reported to MaxPreps.
