Eastern Indiana - Small 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!
Quinn Barada Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Rushville was led to victory by Quinn Barada, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Barada rushed for 233 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (113.6). The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Barada might just drop another big game when he faces off against Franklin County on Friday. Back in September (the last time Barada saw the Wildcats), he rushed for 152 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries.

Mason Wewe and Co. Win Fourth in a Row

On the season, Wewe has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 80 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 16.67 rushing yards per game.

Gage Pohlman Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Batesville got the W thanks in part to Gage Pohlman playing the best football he has all season. Pohlman rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also picked up 30 receiving yards.
Connersville had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Pohlman it was a similar story. When Pohlman last faced the Spartans back in October of 2023, he rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also caught a touchdown.
