Knox Morrow 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!
Sipes Came Up Big in Fredericktown's 31-0 Win
Starting off the list is Fredericktown's Blake Sipes, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Sipes rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 95 yards and a touchdown while completing 85.7% of his passes.
On the season, Sipes has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 99.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 94.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 142 rushing yards.

Aidan Burke Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Aidan Burke posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 104 rushing yards dating back to last season. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 63 yards.
Danville's win was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-2. Burke and Danville will square off against Fredericktown at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Another Danville player making an appearance on this list is Joshua Byers. He picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made 13 total tackles.
On the year, Byers has averaged 15.8 total tackles per game and for the season has 5 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.75 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 12.63 rushing yards.

Caleb Lucas Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Danville got the W thanks in part to Caleb Lucas playing the best football he has all season. Lucas picked up a sack, made 14 total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defended a pass.
Centerburg had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Lucas it was a similar story. When Lucas last faced the Trojans back in October of 2023, he picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made ten total tackles (3.0 for loss).
