Greater South Shore - North 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!
Silver Posts Huge Game in 55-16 Win
Starting off the list is River Forest's Ayden Silver, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Silver threw for 217 yards and four touchdowns while completing 90% of his passes, and also rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. His passing game has become a key predictor of River Forest's success: the team is 3-1 when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 2-3 otherwise.
River Forest's victory ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 5-4. Silver's next match is against Knox on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Boone Grove Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Mark Rowland
Mark Rowland was instrumental in extending Boone Grove's winning streak to four on Friday. Rowland turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 47 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 167 yards and two touchdowns while completing 90.9% of his passes.
Hammond Bishop Noll's probably not too fond of Rowland given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Rowland saw the Warriors), he threw for 202 yards and three touchdowns on only 19 passes, and also rushed for 54 yards and two touchdowns.
