Hoosier North 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!
Ryan Meredith Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, North Miami got the W thanks in part to Ryan Meredith playing the best football he has all season. Meredith rushed for 85 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, and also picked up 53 receiving yards and a touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 56 yards.
The victory (which was North Miami's third in a row) raised their record to 6-2. They and Triton are set to duel on Friday.

Brock Benson Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Brock Benson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading North Judson-San Pierre to the win on Friday. Benson rushed for 222 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Benson must have Caston's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Benson rushed for 208 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries the last time he and the Comets duked it out back in August of 2023.

Kole Wilcox's Big Game Leads North Judson-San Pierre over Caston
Kole Wilcox was instrumental in extending North Judson-San Pierre's winning streak to eight on Friday. Caston had no answer to Wilcox as he rushed for 139 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries. Wilcox's longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Caston's probably not too fond of Wilcox given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in August of 2023 (the last time Wilcox saw the Comets), he rushed for 48 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Micah Rans Delivers Electric Performance Vs Triton
While Pioneer might've come up empty on Friday, Micah Rans wasn't going down without a fight. Triton had no answer to Rans as he rushed for 153 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 59 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes. Rans really tore up the turf during one magnificent 83-yard run.
With the defeat, Pioneer broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 6-2. Rans and Pioneer will square off against North Judson-San Pierre at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.

This season, Musall has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 74.6 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had four rushing touchdowns.
