Hoosier Heritage 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!
Cooper Hinton Goes Supernova in Greenfield-Central Win
Starting off the list is Greenfield-Central's Cooper Hinton, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hinton made 16 total tackles (1.0 for loss). The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Hinton must have New Castle's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Hinton picked up a sack, made seven total tackles (3.0 for loss), and defended two passes the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in October of 2023.

Big Game from Ranes As New Palestine Won 38-0
Josh Ranes was instrumental in extending New Palestine's winning streak to seven on Friday. Ranes did his part (and then some), rushing for 235 yards while picking up 12.4 yards per carry for the 'W'. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.
Ranes might have his next game, a road matchup with Mt. Vernon, circled on his calendar. Back in September (the last time Ranes saw the Marauders), he rushed for 119 yards and four touchdowns on only 13 carries.

New Palestine Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Jacob Davis
Jacob Davis was instrumental in extending New Palestine's winning streak to seven on Friday. Davis did his part (and then some), throwing for 138 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 44 yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'.
This year, Davis has thrown 17 touchdowns (and and only 1 picks) while averaging 152.9 passing yards per game.

Keaton Jones Dazzles in Pendleton Heights Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Keaton Jones stepped things up a notch to give Pendleton Heights the 'W'. Shelbyville had no answer to Jones as he rushed for 124 yards and four touchdowns.
Jones is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against New Castle on Friday. Back in September (the last time Jones saw the Trojans), he rushed for 225 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry.

Cade Logston Rounds Out Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Cade Logston of New Castle. Logston made six total tackles and defended a pass. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 59 yards.
New Castle is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-5. Logston and New Castle are taking a road trip to take on Pendleton Heights at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
