Highland 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!
Kane Graham Goes Supernova in Houghton Lake Win
Starting off the list is Houghton Lake's Kane Graham, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Graham rushed for 234 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.8 yards per carry. Those 234 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
If history really does repeat itself, Graham might just drop another big game when he faces off against Evart on Friday. When Graham last faced the Wildcats back in October of 2023, he rushed for 232 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.3 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 59.65
Evart had to settle for second on Friday, but Aidan Anderson sure wasn't going down easily. Anderson was unstoppable, rushing for 105 yards and three touchdowns, while also throwing for 231 yards and a touchdown while completing 73.3% of his passes.
This is the second loss in a row for Evart and nudges their season record down to 4-3. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Wildcats challenges Houghton Lake at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 40.60
While Keaton Pratt delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Roscommon. Pratt was unstoppable, picking up 73 receiving yards, while also rushing for 45 yards.
Roscommon is on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-6. Pratt's next matchup is against Lake City on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Jacob Ziebell Makes It Two for Roscommon
Keeping Pratt company is Jacob Ziebell, a fellow Roscommon player. He rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 60 receiving yards. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 60 yards.
For the year, Ziebell has run in 2 touchdowns while averaging 16.7 rushing yards per game.

A Constellation of Stars for Roscommon
Another Roscommon player making an appearance on this list is Landon Mann. He threw for 152 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.
This season, Mann has thrown 3 touchdowns while averaging 53.6 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he was only averaging 49.2 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 79.8 rushing yards.
