6A West 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!
Greenwood Wins 19th-Straight Thanks to Kane Archer
Kane Archer's big game helped extend Greenwood's winning streak to 19 on Friday. Archer turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 393 yards and seven touchdowns while completing 77.3% of his passes.
If the past is any indication, Archer could be in store for another big game when he takes on Lake Hamilton on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Archer saw the Wolves), he threw for 239 yards and three touchdowns while completing 90.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 50 yards and a touchdown.

Max Eldridge Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Shiloh Christian got the W thanks in part to Max Eldridge playing the best football he has all season. Eldridge rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
On the season, Eldridge has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 34.8 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 49.15
Big Game from Mason As Shiloh Christian Won 38-20
Another Shiloh Christian player making an appearance on this list is Griffin Mason. He rushed for 245 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 42 receiving yards. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 111 rushing yards dating back to last season.
This season, Mason has caught 1 touchdown while averaging 27.8 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 8.33 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 185.83 rushing yards.

Hayden Barton Dazzles in Lake Hamilton Victory
Lake Hamilton picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Hayden Barton. Barton did his part (and then some), rushing for 126 yards and three touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown for the 'W'. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Barton must have Van Buren's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Barton last faced the Pointers back in September of 2023, he rushed for 188 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per carry.
