Hoosier North 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!
Kole Wilcox Delivers Electric Effort Vs Pioneer
North Judson-San Pierre picked up their ninth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kole Wilcox. Wilcox was unstoppable, rushing for 123 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.7 yards per carry, and also picking up 75 receiving yards. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made nine total tackles.
Pioneer had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Wilcox it was a similar story. Wilcox rushed for 77 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 47 receiving yards the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.

A Season-Best Performance from Jesiah Mcdaniel Leads North Judson-San Pierre over Pioneer
North Judson-San Pierre was led to victory by Jesiah Mcdaniel, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Mcdaniel rushed for 165 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Pioneer's probably not too fond of Mcdaniel given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Mcdaniel saw the Panthers), he rushed for 130 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 84 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes.
Gamescore: 63.70
Another Game with at Least 115 Rushing Yards from Micah Rans
Micah Rans continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 115 rushing yards. He rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 62 yards and a touchdown. Pioneer is undefeated when Rans posts 100 or more rushing yards, but 2-3 otherwise.
Rans is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Caston on Friday. Back in September (the last time Rans saw the Comets), he rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 21 yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 47.13
Meredith Made His Presence Known in North Miami's 21-13 Victory
North Miami picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Ryan Meredith. Meredith was unstoppable, rushing for 79 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended two passes.
North Miami's victory was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 7-2. Meredith will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian on Friday.
Gamescore: 39.75
Jabez Yarber Dazzles in Caston Defeat
Jabez Yarber put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 133 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making eight total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Caston is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-7. Yarber and Caston will look to defend their home field on Friday against Pioneer at 7:00 p.m.
