Indiana 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!
Braden Brown Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Triton Central's Braden Brown, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Brown made two total tackles. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 77-yard run.
The victory (which was Triton Central's fifth in a row) raised their record to 7-2. Brown and Triton Central will venture away from home to square off against Union County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Ryder Pool Delivers Electric Effort Vs Indianapolis Scecina Memorial
Keeping Bryant company is Ryder Pool, a fellow Monrovia player. He rushed for 81 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also caught a touchdown.
Pool and Monrovia have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Indianapolis Scecina Memorial at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bulldogs got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Crusaders, probably because Pool had a solid game then too: he rushed for 81 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also caught a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance?

A Season-Best Performance from Franklin Weilbrenner Leads Beech Grove over Indianapolis Lutheran
Beech Grove came up short on Friday despite Franklin Weilbrenner delivering his best game to date. Weilbrenner wasn't messing around, making 27 total tackles (3.0 for loss) and defending a pass. The game was his ninth straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Beech Grove's defeat ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 4-5. Weilbrenner and Beech Grove will head out to face off against Greenfield-Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Clay Thacker Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Friday, Monrovia got the W thanks in part to Clay Thacker playing the best football he has all season. Thacker rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 163 yards and a touchdown on perfect 8-for-8 passing, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Thacker and Monrovia have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Indianapolis Scecina Memorial at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Thacker took on the Crusaders, he rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 163 yards and a touchdown on perfect 8-for-8 passing. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
