He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making 11 total tackles and defending a pass.

Evart was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Aidan Anderson did his best to prevent it. Anderson was dynamite, throwing for 155 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 51 yards.
Evart's loss ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 4-2. Anderson and Evart will head out to take on McBain at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Noah Vanderlinde Makes It Two for Evart
Another Evart player making an appearance on this list is Noah Vanderlinde. He picked up 80 receiving yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 56 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Vanderlinde might just drop another big game when he faces off against McBain on Friday. Vanderlinde picked up 131 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Ramblers duked it out back in October of 2023.
