Northern Lakes - Buckeye 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!

Grant Kinnee's Big Game Leads Anthony Wayne over Springfield

Anthony Wayne picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Grant Kinnee. Kinnee did his part (and then some), throwing for 94 yards and three touchdowns while completing 87.5% of his passes, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground for the 'W'.

Unfortunately for Springfield, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Kinnee. When Kinnee last faced the Blue Devils back in October of 2023, he rushed for 169 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 133 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.
