Northeast Corner - Big 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!
Calder Hefty Delivers Electric Performance Vs Lakeland
Calder Hefty's big game helped extend Garrett's winning streak to ten on Friday. Hefty turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 100 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, while also throwing for 89 yards and two touchdowns on only six passes. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Unfortunately for Lakeland, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Hefty. Hefty rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.5 yards per carry the last time he and the Lakers duked it out back in September.

Maran Came Up Big in Fairfield's 48-34 Win
Fairfield picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Breckan Maran. Nobody could stop Maran as he rushed for 195 yards and three touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 137 rushing yards.
For the season, Maran has run in 18 touchdowns while averaging 117 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 62.2 rushing yards per game.

Blake Metzger Makes It Two for Fairfield
Keeping Maran company is Blake Metzger, a fellow Fairfield player. He rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown.

Estil Pruitt Goes Supernova in West Noble Victory
Estil Pruitt's big game helped extend West Noble's winning streak to four on Friday. Angola had no answer to Pruitt as he rushed for 148 yards and two touchdowns. Pruitt's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 142 rushing yards.
Angola's probably not too fond of Pruitt given he always seems to get the better of them. Pruitt rushed for 291 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry the last time he and the Hornets duked it out back in September.
