Western Indiana - Green 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!
Big Game from Kramer As North Putnam Won 55-6
Starting off the list is North Putnam's Christian Kramer, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Kramer rushed for 190 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.9 yards per carry, and also threw for 160 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 passes. He has been hot recently, having posted two or more rushing touchdowns the last four times he's played.
Brown County's probably not too fond of Kramer given he always seems to get the better of them. When Kramer last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 206 yards and three touchdowns.

Tayt Jackson's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Cloverdale over West Vigo
Tayt Jackson posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 55 receiving yards. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 78 yards.
Jackson must have West Vigo's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Jackson saw the Vikings), he rushed for 153 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also picked up 56 receiving yards and a touchdown.

A Season-Best Performance from Ty Benton Leads South Putnam over Owen Valley
Ty Benton produced his most outstanding game to date while leading South Putnam to the win on Friday. Benton wasn't messing around, rushing for 103 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries. The matchup was his fourth straight with two or more rushing touchdowns. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last four games he's played.
South Putnam pushed their record up to 6-2 with the victory, which was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season. Benton and South Putnam will venture away from home to take on Cloverdale at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Levi Johnson Makes It Two for Cloverdale
The second Cloverdale player making an appearance here is Levi Johnson, and for good reason. He rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making ten total tackles and defending a pass.
This year, Johnson has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 87.1 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had one rushing touchdown.
