Hoosier North 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!
Ryan Meredith Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, North Miami got the W thanks in part to Ryan Meredith playing the best football he has all season. Meredith rushed for 85 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, and also picked up 53 receiving yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory (which was North Miami's third in a row) raised their record to 6-2. They and Triton are set to duel on Friday.

Brock Benson Has Career Rushing Day
Brock Benson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading North Judson-San Pierre to the win on Friday. Benson rushed for 222 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Unfortunately for Caston, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Benson. When Benson last faced the Comets back in August of 2023, he rushed for 208 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries.

Wilcox Came Up Big in North Judson-San Pierre's 69-3 Victory
Kole Wilcox was instrumental in extending North Judson-San Pierre's winning streak to eight on Friday. Nobody could stop Wilcox as he rushed for 139 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Caston's probably not too fond of Wilcox given he always seems to get the better of them. Wilcox rushed for 48 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Comets duked it out back in August of 2023.

Big Game from Rans As Pioneer Fell 28-21
Pioneer was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Micah Rans did his best to prevent it. Rans was dynamite, rushing for 153 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, while also throwing for 59 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 83-yard run.
The defeat snapped Pioneer's winning streak at five games and leaves them with a 6-2 record. Rans and Pioneer will face off against North Judson-San Pierre at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
