Northeast Corner - Small School 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!
Churubusco Gets a Boost from Ianucilli in 42-18 Loss
Starting off the list is Churubusco's Angelo Ianucilli, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ianucilli rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Churubusco's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 1-4 when he doesn't).
Ianucilli must have Fairfield's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Ianucilli rushed for 140 yards while picking up 8.8 yards per carry the last time he and the Falcons duked it out back in October of 2023.

The defeat snapped Eastside's winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 4-5 record. Hewitt and Eastside will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against Whitko at 7:00 p.m.

Prairie Heights was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Brock Hagewood did his best to prevent it. Hagewood turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for seven yards.
