Eastern Indiana - Small 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!
Quinn Barada Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Rushville got the W thanks in part to Quinn Barada playing the best football he has all season. Barada rushed for 233 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (113.6). Those 233 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Barada is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Franklin County on Friday. Back in September (the last time Barada saw the Wildcats), he rushed for 152 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries.

Mason Wewe and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Mason Wewe was instrumental in extending Franklin County's winning streak to four on Friday. Wewe was unstoppable, rushing for 142 yards and a touchdown.
On the season, Wewe has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 80 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 16.67 rushing yards per game.

Franklin County Gets a Boost from Gillman in 29-22 Win
Keeping Wewe company is Quinn Gillman, a fellow Franklin County player. He rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 68 yards and a touchdown.
A feisty cat fight will be fought when Wildcats faces off against Rushville at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Gillman took on the Lions, he threw for 243 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 93 yards on only 13 carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Gage Pohlman Turns in Season-Best Performance
Batesville was led to victory by Gage Pohlman, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Pohlman rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also picked up 30 receiving yards.
Pohlman must have Connersville's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Pohlman saw the Spartans), he rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also caught a touchdown.
