NCISAA Big East Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Elijiah Oehlke Leads Trinity Christian over North Raleigh Christian Academy
On Friday, Trinity Christian got the W thanks in part to Elijiah Oehlke playing the best football he has all season. Oehlke wasn't messing around, throwing for 433 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 14.9 yards per attempt. The game was his fourth straight with three or more passing touchdowns dating back to last season.
Oehlke is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against GRACE Christian on Friday. Oehlke rushed for 98 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 247 yards and four touchdowns while completing 78.9% of his passes the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.

Trinity Christian Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Xayden Watson

This year, Watson has caught 9 touchdowns while averaging 81.3 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one receiving touchdown.

Jaden Brown Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Jaden Brown posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. He made a tackle.
Ravenscroft's victory bumped their record up to 3-5. Brown and Ravenscroft will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on North Raleigh Christian Academy at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.
Gamescore: 37.50
Brandon Williams Makes It Two for Ravenscroft
Keeping Brown company is Brandon Williams, a fellow Ravenscroft player. He made 11 total tackles.
Williams and Ravenscroft will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against North Raleigh Christian Academy at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th. The Ravens got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Knights, probably because Williams had a solid game then too: he made 15 total tackles (1.0 for loss). Can he match (or beat) that performance?
