Cahokia - Illinois 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!
Kolton Jany and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Chester picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kolton Jany. Dupo had no answer to Jany as he rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown. Jany also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making four total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
Jany must have Dupo's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Jany last faced the Tigers back in October of 2023, he picked up 133 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.
Gamescore: 36.47
Big Game from Prater As Dupo Fell 48-14
Dupo was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Deegan Prater did his best to prevent it. Prater was unstoppable, rushing for 74 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, while also throwing for 200 yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Prater has thrown 13 touchdowns while averaging 172.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 31.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 103.57 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 34.68
Wesclin took down Red Bud on Friday, a win that might not have happened without William Waggoner's effort. Waggoner was dynamite, rushing for 62 yards and a touchdown, while also picking up 34 receiving yards.
Wesclin's victory ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 2-5. Waggoner and Wesclin will welcome Carlyle at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 30.35
Cael Madden Makes It Two for Wesclin
Keeping Waggoner company is Cael Madden, a fellow Wesclin player. He rushed for 79 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 92 yards and a touchdown. He has become a key player for Wesclin: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 0-4 otherwise.
On the season, Madden has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 65.3 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 29.73
A Season-Best Performance from Dequan Woods Leads Sparta/Steeleville over Carlyle
Sadly, Dequan Woods posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Sparta/Steeleville over Carlyle on Friday. Woods picked up 84 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He didn't just play on offense: he also made five total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
Sparta/Steeleville is on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 0-7. Woods and Sparta/Steeleville will square off against Dupo at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
