5A District 6 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Rio Litmer Turns in Season-Best Effort
Highlands was led to victory by Rio Litmer, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Litmer threw for 217 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 passes, and also rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 75 yards.
Litmer's next game is against Boone County on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance. The Bluebirds got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Rebels, probably because Litmer had a solid game then too: he threw for 87 yards and three touchdowns on perfect 5-for-5 passing, and also rushed for 34 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

O'hara Posts Huge Game in 42-17 Victory
Cooper picked up their seventh consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Cam O'Hara. Nobody could stop O'Hara as he threw for 261 yards and four touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes.
Conner had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw O'Hara it was a similar story. Back in September of 2023 (the last time O'Hara saw the Cougars), he threw for 143 yards and two touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 91 yards on only eight carries.

Keagan Maher's Big Game Leads Cooper over Conner
Cooper picked up their seventh consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Keagan Maher. Maher turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 123 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries.
Maher must have Conner's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Maher saw the Cougars), he rushed for 162 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.1 yards per carry.
