North Central 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!
Dae'cion Echols Delivers Best Performance of Season
Dae'Cion Echols produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Muncie Central to the win on Friday. Echols rushed for 267 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 12.1 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 52 yards.
Richmond had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Echols it was a similar story. Echols rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries the last time he and the Red Devils duked it out back in September of 2023.
Gamescore: 76.10
Harrison found a leader in Jack Gonzalez as the team took down Kokomo on Friday. Nobody could stop Gonzalez as he made six total tackles. His longest rush was for an incredible 89 yards.
Harrison is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season. Gonzalez and Harrison will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Westfield at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Pollard Made His Presence Known in Kokomo's 29-28 Defeat
Kokomo had to settle for second on Friday, but Keemarion Pollard sure wasn't going down easily. Pollard turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 80 yards and two touchdowns.
Pollard and Kokomo will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on McCutcheon at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st. Pollard will face off against Tyler Brigham, the Mavericks' star running back. Will the contest be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
