Eastern Cincinnati 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!
Luke Brand Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Milford got the W thanks in part to Luke Brand playing the best football he has all season. Brand threw for 293 yards and two touchdowns while completing 84.6% of his passes, and also punched in three touchdowns on the ground. He is becoming a predictor of Milford's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 2-4 when he doesn't).
Milford moved to 4-5 with that victory, which also ended their four-game losing streak. Brand and Milford will venture away from home to face off against Turpin at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Justice Burnam Goes Supernova in Anderson Victory
Justice Burnam was instrumental in extending Anderson's winning streak to nine on Friday. Burnam turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 319 yards and three touchdowns while completing 78.1% of his passes, and also rushing for 35 yards and a touchdown.
If the past is any indication, Burnam could be in store for another big game when he takes on Loveland on Friday. Back in August of 2023 (the last time Burnam saw the Tigers), he threw for 391 yards and three touchdowns while completing 79.4% of his passes, and also rushed for 96 yards.
