Mid-Southern 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Boomer Hester Leads Charlestown over Corydon Central
Sadly, Boomer Hester posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Charlestown over Corydon Central on Friday. Hester rushed for 288 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 60 yards.
Hester and Charlestown will face off against Salem at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Hester will face off against Adam Mull, the Lions' star signal caller. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

Landon Shuck Dazzles in Scottsburg Victory
Scottsburg picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Landon Shuck. Shuck was dynamite, rushing for 235 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 13.8 yards per carry, and also picking up 40 receiving yards. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 60 yards.
Mitchell had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Shuck it was a similar story. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Shuck saw the Bluejackets), he rushed for 146 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also caught a touchdown.
