Hoosier Hills 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Mikey Wright Leads Seymour over Jennings County
On Friday, Seymour got the W thanks in part to Mikey Wright playing the best football he has all season. Wright rushed for 92 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 190 yards and a touchdown while completing 72.7% of his passes.
On the season, Wright has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 147.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 7.73 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 96.95 passer rating.
Gamescore: 40.27
While Columbus East might've come up empty on Friday, Jared Brooks wasn't going down without a fight. Brooks was unstoppable, picking up 73 receiving yards and a touchdown.
The defeat snapped Columbus East's losing streak at four games and leaves them with a 4-3 record. Brooks and Columbus East will be playing at home against Jeffersonville at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 39.97
Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Mason Nugent
On Friday, Seymour got the W thanks in part to Mason Nugent playing the best football he has all season. Nugent wasn't messing around, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making nine total tackles (5.0 for loss). The match was his seventh straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
For the season, Nugent has averaged 7.3 total tackles per game and for the season has 4.5 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had 1.5 sacks.
Gamescore: 28.85
Cam Hollaway Turns in Season-Best Performance
Jeffersonville was led to victory by Cam Hollaway, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Hollaway picked up 100 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Jeffersonville's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-2. Hollaway and Jeffersonville will challenge Columbus East at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 28.58
Villarreal Made His Presence Known in Columbus East's 28-20 Defeat
The second Columbus East player making an appearance here is Kyson Villarreal, and for good reason. He threw for 163 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 passes, and also rushed for 85 yards on only 12 carries.
Villarreal and Columbus East will look to defend their home field on Friday against Jeffersonville at 7:00 p.m. The Olympians got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Red Devils, probably because Villarreal had a solid game then too: he rushed for 74 yards, and also threw for 95 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
