Patoka Lake 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!
Christian Hamilton Dazzles in Springs Valley Win
Starting off the list is Springs Valley's Christian Hamilton, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hamilton rushed for 187 yards and four touchdowns on only 13 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 125 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Hamilton must have Tecumseh'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 Hamilton saw the Braves), he rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries.

Dane Padgett and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Paoli picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Dane Padgett. Padgett turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 103 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making seven total tackles.
If the past is any indication, Padgett could be in store for another big game when he takes on Mitchell on Friday. Padgett rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also picked up 51 receiving yards the last time he and the Bluejackets duked it out back in October of 2023.
