D1 District 4 (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Barrett Wilke's Big Game Leads Stanton over Elkhorn Valley
Barrett Wilke was instrumental in extending Stanton's winning streak to 19 on Friday. Wilke did his part (and then some), rushing for 310 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 17.2 yards per carry for the 'W'. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his 12th straight game with at least 124 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Wilke must have Elkhorn Valley's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Wilke saw the Falcons), he rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.5 yards per carry, and also threw for 222 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 passes.

Stanton Wins 19th-Straight Thanks to Becker Pohlman
Stanton picked up their 19th consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Becker Pohlman. Pohlman picked up a sack and made eight total tackles. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (185) he has had since back in November of 2023. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making eight total tackles.
For the season, Pohlman has averaged 8.2 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 8.5 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 27.17 receiving yards.

Karter Lingenfelter's Rushing Yards a New Career-High

A Season-Best Performance from Connor Korth Leads Laurel-Concord-Coleridge over Plainview
Laurel-Concord-Coleridge came up short on Friday despite Connor Korth delivering his best game to date. Korth rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 195 yards and three touchdowns.
On the year, Korth has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 48.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 17.83 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 47.83 rushing yards.

Schindler Posts Huge Game in 55-0 Win
Alec Schindler put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Thursday. He picked up 65 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown.
Unfortunately for Lutheran-Northeast, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Schindler. Schindler picked up 129 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 24 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in September of 2023.
