Noah Dodson Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Fountain Central's Noah Dodson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Dodson made 11 total tackles (1.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the year, Dodson has averaged 9.9 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 56.72
Big Game from Price As Riverton Parke Won 39-32
Riverton Parke picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kyle Price. Nobody could stop Price as he rushed for 193 yards and three touchdowns. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up two sacks and making six total tackles.
If history really does repeat itself, Price might just drop another big game when he faces off against Parke Heritage on Friday. When Price last faced the Wolves last Friday, he rushed for 245 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.6 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 51.40
Andrew Botner and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Andrew Botner was instrumental in extending North Vermillion's winning streak to five on Friday. Botner turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 136 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.6 yards per carry, and also picking up 70 receiving yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making seven total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
Botner might have his next game, a home matchup with North Central, circled on his calendar. When Botner last faced the Thunderbirds back in August, he rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also picked up 40 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 47.75
North Vermillion picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Matthew Dawson. Dawson turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 225 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 85 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
This year, Dawson has thrown 13 touchdowns while averaging 126.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 11.
Gamescore: 43.50
Cian Moore's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Covington over Riverton Parke
Rounding off our Top Five is Cian Moore of Covington. Moore rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.4 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 95-yard run.
If the past is any indication, Moore could be in store for another big game when he takes on Attica on Friday. When Moore last faced the Red Ramblers last Friday, he rushed for 189 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 carries.
