Myles Mclaughlin Goes Supernova in Knox Win
Starting off the list is Knox's Myles Mclaughlin, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mclaughlin rushed for 286 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 13.0 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
The victory (which was Knox's fourth in a row) raised their record to 5-2. Mclaughlin and Knox will head out on the road to challenge Bremen at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Brock Derf Leads Tippecanoe Valley over Western
On Friday, Tippecanoe Valley got the W thanks in part to Brock Derf playing the best football he has all season. Derf rushed for 118 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Derf has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 48.7 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown.

Jake Conroy Makes It Two for Knox
Another Knox player making an appearance on this list is Jake Conroy. He rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 52 receiving yards. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 60 yards.
This year, Conroy has averaged 18.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had six rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 11.

Braedyn Foster Turns in Another Game with at Least Seven Total Tackles
Braedyn Foster continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his ninth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least seven total tackles. He picked up a sack and made 17 total tackles.
For the season, Foster has averaged 11.4 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging seven total tackles per game.

Cody Allen's Big Game Leads Laville over Glenn
Keeping Foster company is Cody Allen, a fellow LaVille player. He rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns. LaVille is 2-1 when Allen posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Unfortunately for Glenn, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Allen. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Allen saw the Falcons), he rushed for 124 yards and two touchdowns.
