Pocket - Small School 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!
Jed Galvin Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Jed Galvin produced his most outstanding game to date while leading North Posey to the win on Friday. Galvin rushed for 237 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 80 yards and a touchdown. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.1 rushing touchdowns per game. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Unfortunately for Forest Park, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Galvin. When Galvin last faced the Rangers back in September of 2023, he rushed for 167 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.8 yards per carry, and also threw for 15 yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 97.37
A Season-Best Performance from Noah Wright Leads Southridge over South Spencer
Noah Wright produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Southridge to the win on Friday. Wright rushed for 191 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 73 yards.
The victory made it two in a row for Southridge and bumps their season record up to 5-2. They and North Posey are set to duel on Friday.
Gamescore: 58.38
Boyd Posts Huge Game in 22-0 Victory
Pike Central's four-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Grant Boyd. Nobody could stop Boyd on Friday as he rushed for 137 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also picked up 44 receiving yards.
Boyd and Pike Central will stay at home for another week and welcome Forest Park at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Boyd took on the Rangers, he rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 48.87
Matthew Meadows Makes It Two for Pike Central
Keeping Boyd company is Matthew Meadows, a fellow Pike Central player. He rushed for 84 yards, and also threw for 95 yards and a touchdown.
On the season, Meadows has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 102.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 33.39 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 65.87 passer rating.
