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 Goes Supernova in Springs Valley Victory
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.
Unfortunately for Tecumseh, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Hamilton. Hamilton rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries the last time he and the Braves duked it out back in September of 2023.

Dane Padgett and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Dane Padgett's big game helped extend Paoli's winning streak to seven on Friday. Padgett was unstoppable, rushing for 103 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making seven total tackles.
If history really does repeat itself, Padgett might just drop another big game when he faces off against 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.
