1A East (8 Man) 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!
Parker Filleman Delivers Best Performance of Season
Parker Filleman produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Lincoln Prep to the win on Friday. Filleman threw for 227 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.4 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 72-yard run.
Filleman must have Duncan's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Filleman threw for 348 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 16.6 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 61 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries the last time he and the Wildkats duked it out back in October of 2023.

Hayden Wins 21st-Straight Thanks to Tyler Garner
Hayden picked up their 21st consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Tyler Garner. Nobody could stop Garner as he rushed for 110 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 100 rushing yards.
This year, Garner has averaged 15.9 receiving yards per game.

Kino Lorona Delivers Electric Effort Vs Ray
Kino Lorona was instrumental in extending Hayden's winning streak to 21 on Friday. Lorona turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 67 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. He has been hot , having posted two or more rushing touchdowns the last five times he's played.
For the season, Lorona has averaged 23.8 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had 12 rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 20.

Dilley Came Up Big in Lincoln Prep's 56-20 Victory
The second Lincoln Prep player making an appearance here is Finn Dilley, and for good reason. He rushed for 54 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 81 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making four total tackles (2.5 for loss).
Duncan's probably not too fond of Dilley given he always seems to get the better of them. When Dilley last faced the Wildkats back in October of 2023, he rushed for 183 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also picked up 121 receiving yards and a touchdown.

This season, Mewhinney has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 47.5 receiving yards per game.
