Hoosier Crossroads Top Football Player Performances

Hoosier Crossroads 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!

Ashton Carter Delivers Electric Performance Vs Noblesville

Starting off the list is Avon's Ashton Carter, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Carter rushed for 141 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.4 yards per carry. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.

Carter and Avon will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Brownsburg at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st. The game will pit Carter up against the Bulldogs' star running back Brady Lewis. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

King Posts Huge Game in 44-7 Victory

Westfield picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Deacon King. Franklin Central had no answer to King as he rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. King's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 105 rushing yards.

Westfield's win was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-1. King and Westfield will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Harrison at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Carsen Melvin Makes It Two for Westfield

Another Westfield player making an appearance on this list is Carsen Melvin. He threw for 241 yards and two touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.

For the year, Melvin has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 155.6 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 6.33 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 17.11 rushing yards.

Alex Burke Goes Supernova in Brownsburg Defeat

Brownsburg had to settle for second on Friday, but Alex Burke sure wasn't going down easily. Burke was unstoppable, making 11 total tackles (3.0 for loss) and defending a pass.

If the past is any indication, Burke could be in store for another big game when he takes on Avon on Friday. Burke picked up 1.5 sacks, forced a fumble, and made eight total tackles (3.5 for loss) the last time he and the Orioles duked it out back in September.
