He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack, forcing two fumbles, and making five total tackles (2.0 for loss).

Brecken Keoraj Dazzles in Elk River Victory
Another Elk River player making an appearance on this list is Brecken Keoraj. He rushed for 130 yards and four touchdowns on only 13 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 130 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Unfortunately for Rogers, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Keoraj. When Keoraj last faced the Royals back in October of 2023, he rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
