Midwest 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!
Jonathan Pearson Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Tri-County's Jonathan Pearson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Pearson rushed for 152 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (102) per game. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in October of 2023.
If the past is any indication, Pearson could be in store for another big game when he takes on Bowman Academy on Friday. Pearson rushed for 171 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 carries the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 46.63
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Ben Sherrick stepped things up a notch to give North White the 'W'. South Newton had no answer to Sherrick as he rushed for 116 yards. Sherrick showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 50 yards.
The win made it two in a row for North White and bumps their season record up to 3-4. They and North Newton are set to duel on Friday.
Gamescore: 33.93
Connor Huber Delivers Best Effort of Season
Connor Huber produced his most outstanding game to date while leading West Central to the win on Friday. Huber picked up 62 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 35 yards.
The victory was the third in a row for West Central, bringing their record for this year to 5-2. Huber and West Central will welcome Frontier at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 25.45
Drea Villarreal Makes It Two for West Central
Keeping Huber company is Drea Villarreal, a fellow West Central player. He rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown.
Villarreal and West Central will take on Frontier at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Trojans got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Falcons, probably because Villarreal had a solid game then too: he rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
