Quinn Gillman Dazzles in Franklin County Victory
Starting off the list is Franklin County's Quinn Gillman, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Gillman threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.2 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 85 yards. He didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles and defended a pass.
The win was the third in a row for Franklin County, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Wildcats challenges Bluffton at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Gage Pohlman's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Batesville over Franklin County
While Batesville might've come up empty on Friday, Gage Pohlman wasn't going down without a fight. Pohlman was dynamite, rushing for 135 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries. He has become a key player for Batesville: the team is 4-1 when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Unfortunately for Franklin County, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Pohlman. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Pohlman saw the Wildcats), he picked up 137 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.

A Season-Best Performance from Braydon Wilson Leads Rushville over South Dearborn
Rushville was led to victory by Braydon Wilson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Wilson picked up 112 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Rushville has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-3 record this season. Wilson and Rushville will be playing in front of their home fans against Greensburg at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
