Nation's leading rusher Ethen Knox of Pennsylvania also makes the cut after fourth-straight 400-yard game.
This past weekend of high school football saw no shortage of insane statistical performances. We are highlighting some of those in the latest edition of Stat Freaks of the Week.
Quarterback
Tyler Hill of
San Angelo Central (San Angelo, Texas) tops the list after throwing for 246 yards and three TDs and running for 271 yards and four scores.
In the game's closing seconds, Hill evaded a pass rush and flung a 40-yard Hail Mary touchdown to senior
Benjamin Imler for a 63-61 win over Wylie.
Bryce Danish of
Mount Union (Pa.) and
Nate Myers of
Southern Huntingdon County (Three Springs, Pa.) are two Stat Freaks who played against each other in a Pennsylvania rivalry game Friday.
Danish helped Mount Union to a win by scoring six touchdowns in the Trojans' 56-45 comeback victory. On defense the junior recorded two interceptions and forced a fumble.
"The feeling of winning a high-scoring game like that is amazing because we fought through adversity the whole game and in the end we came out on top," Danish said.
On the other side of the field Myers scored through the air, on the ground and on special teams for seven total touchdowns.
"The loss to Mount Union was disappointing and tough because that's our rival," Myers said. "That's the game I look forward to all year."
Tyler Hill of San Angelo Central tops this weeks list after scoring 7 total touchdowns in a 63-61 win.
