Hoosier 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!
Kole Wilcox Dazzles in North Judson-San Pierre Win
Kole Wilcox was instrumental in extending North Judson-San Pierre's winning streak to nine on Friday. Wilcox was unstoppable, rushing for 123 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.7 yards per carry, and also picking up 75 receiving yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making nine total tackles.
Pioneer's probably not too fond of Wilcox given he always seems to get the better of them. Wilcox rushed for 77 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 47 receiving yards the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Jesiah Mcdaniel Turns in Season-Best Performance
Jesiah Mcdaniel produced his most outstanding game to date while leading North Judson-San Pierre to the win on Friday. Mcdaniel rushed for 165 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Pioneer had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Mcdaniel it was a similar story. When Mcdaniel last faced the Panthers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 130 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 84 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes.
Gamescore: 63.70
Pioneer Gets a Boost from Rans in 60-18 Loss
Micah Rans continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game with at least 115 rushing yards. He rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 62 yards and a touchdown. He has become a key player for Pioneer: the team is undefeated when he posts at least 100 rushing yards, but 2-3 otherwise.
If the past is any indication, Rans could be in store for another big game when he takes on Caston on Friday. Rans rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 21 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Comets duked it out back in September.
Gamescore: 47.13
Jabez Yarber Goes Supernova in Caston Defeat
Jabez Yarber put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 133 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making eight total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Caston is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-7. Yarber and Caston will challenge Pioneer at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

North Miami Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Ryan Meredith
Ryan Meredith's big game helped extend North Miami's winning streak to four on Friday. Meredith was dynamite, rushing for 79 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending two passes.
North Miami pushed their record up to 7-2 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home. Meredith and North Miami will host Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
