Northeast Corner - 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!
Churubusco Gets a Boost from Ianucilli in 42-18 Defeat
Starting off the list is Churubusco's Angelo Ianucilli, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ianucilli rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Churubusco's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 1-4 when he doesn't).
Fairfield had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Ianucilli it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Ianucilli saw the Falcons), he rushed for 140 yards while picking up 8.8 yards per carry.

With the defeat, Eastside broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 4-5. Hewitt and Eastside will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against Whitko at 7:00 p.m.
