Big 8 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!
Jansen Hunt Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Aurora's Jansen Hunt, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Hunt picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made four total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 82-yard run.
The win snapped Aurora's losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 2-5 record. Hunt's next match is against Lamar on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

East Newton had to settle for second on Friday, but Braxton Wolfe sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Wolfe as he made 13 total tackles and defended a pass. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making 13 total tackles and defending a pass.
Wolfe and East Newton will challenge Seneca at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Wolfe took on the Indians, he made 13 total tackles and defended a pass. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Virgil Rosiere Makes It Two for East Newton
Keeping Wolfe company is Virgil Rosiere, a fellow East Newton player. He picked up 87 receiving yards and a touchdown.
On the year, Rosiere has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 62.7 receiving yards per game.

Will Eichelberger put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He threw for 254 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 45 yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Eichelberger has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 183.1 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 13.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 29.43 rushing yards.
