Mid-Eastern 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!
Big Game from Ullom As Monroe Central Won 45-0
Starting off the list is Monroe Central's Jerimiah Ullom, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ullom rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up three sacks and made six total tackles.
Irvington Preparatory Academy's probably not too fond of Ullom given he always seems to get the better of them. When Ullom last faced the back in October of 2023, he picked up 55 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 37 yards and a touchdown.

Kube Posts Huge Game in 41-7 Victory
Mark Kube put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in August on Friday. He rushed for 121 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry.
Kube might have his next game, a home matchup with Lapel, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Kube saw the Bulldogs), he rushed for 228 yards and five touchdowns.

North Decatur Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Corbin Thackery
North Decatur picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Corbin Thackery. Thackery was unstoppable, rushing for 104 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries. He is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for three straight games.
Edinburgh's probably not too fond of Thackery given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Thackery saw the Lancers), he rushed for 81 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries.
