AA - Western Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Effort from Cole Graham Leads Capital over Flathead
Cole Graham produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Capital to the win on Thursday. Graham rushed for 101 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
If the past is any indication, Graham could be in store for another big game when he takes on Butte on Thursday. Graham rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in October of 2023.

Presley Came Up Big in Glacier's 35-7 Win
Glacier found a leader in Jackson Presley as the team took down Big Sky on Thursday. Presley was unstoppable, throwing for 337 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per attempt, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground.
If the past is any indication, Presley could be in store for another big game when he takes on Sentinel on Friday. When Presley last faced the Spartans back in November of 2023, he threw for 311 yards and four touchdowns while completing 73.9% of his passes.

Trygve Braun's Big Game Leads Helena over Butte
Trygve Braun's big game helped extend Helena's winning streak to three on Thursday. Butte had no answer to Braun as he rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 97 receiving yards.
The win got Helena back to even at 4-4. Braun and Helena are on the road again on Friday to play Big Sky.

Dylan Mosness Has Career Rushing Day
Dylan Mosness posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. He rushed for 64 yards on only six carries.

Dorcheus Made His Presence Known in Glacier's 35-7 Victory
The second Glacier player making an appearance here is Kobe Dorcheus, and for good reason. He rushed for 196 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.8 yards per carry.
Big Sky's probably not too fond of Dorcheus given he always seems to get the better of them. Dorcheus rushed for 93 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.
