AA - Western Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Cole Graham Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Thursday, Capital got the W thanks in part to Cole Graham playing the best football he has all season. Graham rushed for 101 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
If the past is any indication, Graham could be in store for another big game when he takes on Butte on Thursday. When Graham last faced the Bulldogs back in October of 2023, he rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries.

Presley Made His Presence Known in Glacier's 35-7 Victory
Glacier found a leader in Jackson Presley as the squad took down Big Sky on Thursday. Presley was unstoppable, throwing for 337 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per attempt, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground.
Presley might have his next game, a road matchup with Sentinel, circled on his calendar. Presley threw for 311 yards and four touchdowns while completing 73.9% of his passes the last time he and the Spartans duked it out back in November of 2023.

Helena Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Trygve Braun
Trygve Braun's big game helped extend Helena's winning streak to three on Thursday. Nobody could stop Braun as he rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 97 receiving yards.
The victory got Helena back to even at 4-4. Braun and Helena will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against Big Sky at 7:00 p.m.

Kobe Dorcheus' Big Game Leads Glacier over Big Sky
Another Glacier player making an appearance on this list is Kobe Dorcheus. He rushed for 196 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.8 yards per carry.
Big Sky's probably not too fond of Dorcheus given he always seems to get the better of them. When Dorcheus last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he rushed for 93 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries.
