Greyson Brewer Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Southwestern had to settle for second even though Greyson Brewer put up the best numbers he has all season. Brewer picked up 105 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 56 yards.
For the year, Brewer has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 23.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 4.86 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 48.71 rushing yards.

Cayden Durbin Has Career-Day on Friday
On Friday, Pana got the W thanks in part to Cayden Durbin playing the best football he has all season. Durbin rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making nine total tackles.
For the season, Durbin has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 20.4 rushing yards per game.

Jackson Tuetken Makes Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Jackson Tuetken of Hillsboro. Tuetken picked up 60 receiving yards and a touchdown. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 60 yards.
Hillsboro is on a ten-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7. Tuetken will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Carlinville on Friday.
