A - Eastern Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Curtis Fox Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Saturday, Laurel got the W thanks in part to Curtis Fox playing the best football he has all season. Fox rushed for 173 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry, and also picked up 54 receiving yards and a touchdown. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He has been hot recently, having posted two or more rushing touchdowns the last four times he's played.
Unfortunately for Havre, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Fox. When Fox last faced the Blue Ponies back in October, he rushed for 172 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.5 yards per carry.

Krew Hunter Delivers Electric Performance Vs Havre
The second Laurel player making an appearance here is Krew Hunter, and for good reason. He rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 125 yards and two touchdowns.
On the season, Hunter has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 161.6 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after 11 games last season, he was only averaging 7.01 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 106.55 passer rating.

Howie Martin's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Howie Martin was instrumental in extending Billings Central Catholic's winning streak to 11 on Saturday. Martin rushed for 35 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Martin and Billings Central Catholic will square off against Laurel at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Rams got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Locomotives, probably because Martin had a solid game then too: he rushed for 34 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 98 yards and a touchdown while completing 80% of his passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
