Pocket - Small School 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!
Galvin Came Up Big in North Posey's 45-14 Victory
Starting off the list is North Posey's Jed Galvin, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Galvin rushed for 199 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 56 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Pike Central had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Galvin it was a similar story. Galvin rushed for 187 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries the last time he and the Chargers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Southridge Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Justin Leathers
Justin Leathers's big game helped extend Southridge's winning streak to four on Friday. Leathers turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 177 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.1 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 107 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Southridge pushed their record up to 7-2 with the win, which was their fifth straight on the road. Leathers and Southridge will take on Mt. Vernon at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
