Illinois Central Eight 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!
Tucker Cain Drops League-Best Performance on Friday
Starting off the list is Peotone's Tucker Cain, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cain's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 107 rushing yards. He also punched in three rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Peotone is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
The victory (which was Peotone's third in a row) raised their record to 6-3. Cain and Peotone will venture away from home to take on Eureka at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 45.60
Chase Rivera Makes It Two for Peotone
Keeping Cain company is Chase Rivera, a fellow Peotone player. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 135 rushing yards.
On the season, Rivera has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 26.2 receiving yards per game.

On the year, Pasch has averaged 38.8 rushing yards per game.

Herscher had to settle for second on Friday, but Gaige Brown sure wasn't going down easily. Brown was unstoppable, picking up 67 receiving yards.
