C1 District 7 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Bricen Wright Leads Chadron over Gering
Sadly, Bricen Wright posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Chadron over Gering on Friday. Wright picked up 115 receiving yards and two touchdowns, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made ten total tackles.
The loss snapped Chadron's winning streak at seven games and leaves them with a 7-1 record. Wright and Chadron will welcome Sidney at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 45.33
Big Game from Smith As Ogallala Won 16-6
Ogallala's five-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Sawyer Smith. Nobody could stop Smith on Friday as he rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown.
This year, Smith has run in 8 touchdowns while averaging 83.4 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 45.00
Alek Doty and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Alek Doty's big game helped extend Sidney's winning streak to eight on Friday. Doty was unstoppable, rushing for 47 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 161 yards and two touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes.
Sidney's victory was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-0. Doty and Sidney are taking a road trip to challenge Chadron at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 37.93
Quinn Bailey Turns in Another Game with at Least 140 Rushing Yards
Quinn Bailey continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 15th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 140 rushing yards. He rushed for 156 yards and a touchdown.
Gering's probably not too fond of Bailey given he always seems to get the better of them. When Bailey last faced the Bulldogs back in September of 2023, he rushed for 245 yards and three touchdowns.
Gamescore: 29.02
Ogallala's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Kolby S Nowak
Kolby S Nowak helped snap Ogallala's five-game losing streak. S Nowak turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday, rushing for 47 yards and a touchdown.
S Nowak and Ogallala will head out to take on Alliance at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Indians got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Bulldogs, probably because S Nowak had a solid game then too: he rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
