Hoosier Crossroads Top Football Player Performances

Hoosier Crossroads 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!

Ashton Carter Goes Supernova in Avon Victory

Starting off the list is Avon's Ashton Carter, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Carter rushed for 141 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.4 yards per carry. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.

Carter and Avon will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Brownsburg at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st. Carter will face off against Brady Lewis, the Bulldogs' star RB. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

King Came Up Big in Westfield's 44-7 Victory

Deacon King's big game helped extend Westfield's winning streak to three on Friday. King was dynamite, rushing for 105 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 105 rushing yards.

Westfield's win was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-1. King and Westfield will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Harrison at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Carsen Melvin Makes It Two for Westfield

Keeping King company is Carsen Melvin, a fellow Westfield player. He threw for 241 yards and two touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.

This season, Melvin has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 155.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 6.33 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 17.11 rushing yards.

Alex Burke Delivers Electric Performance Vs Hamilton Southeastern

Brownsburg had to settle for second on Friday, but Alex Burke sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Burke as he made 11 total tackles (3.0 for loss) and defended a pass.

If the past is any indication, Burke could be in store for another big game when he takes on Avon on Friday. Back in September (the last time Burke saw the Orioles), he picked up 1.5 sacks, forced a fumble, and made eight total tackles (3.5 for loss).

A Season-Best Effort from Makyi Hines Leads Avon over Noblesville

On Friday, Avon got the W thanks in part to Makyi Hines playing the best football he has all season. Hines made 19 total tackles.

For the year, Hines has averaged 10.2 total tackles per game.
