Circle City 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!
Cj Harris Dazzles in Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory Win
Starting off the list is Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory's Cj Harris, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Harris rushed for 171 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry, and also picked up 30 receiving yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 108 rushing yards.
Unfortunately for Terre Haute North Vigo, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Harris. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Harris saw the Patriots), he rushed for 147 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries.

Big Game from Vargas As Guerin Catholic Fell 22-21
Dylan Vargas continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 12th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He picked up a sack and made 20 total tackles.
Guerin Catholic has been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-5 record this season. Vargas and Guerin Catholic will square off against West Vigo at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Maverick Geske Makes It Two for Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory
Another Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory player making an appearance on this list is Maverick Geske. He threw for 396 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.7 yards per attempt. His passing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 396 passing yards.
Geske must have Terre Haute North Vigo's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Geske saw the Patriots), he threw for 208 yards and five touchdowns on only 13 passes.

A Season-Best Effort from Dominic Elliott Leads Guerin Catholic over Lafayette Central Catholic
Sadly, Dominic Elliott posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Guerin Catholic over Lafayette Central Catholic on Friday. Elliott wasn't messing around, making 17 total tackles (1.0 for loss) and snagged an interception. The contest was his ninth straight with six or more total tackles.
For the year, Elliott has averaged 11.7 total tackles per game and for the season has 2 interceptions. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.56 total tackles per game.
