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!
A Season-Best Effort from Nate Luzadder Leads Frankton over Blackford
On Friday, Frankton got the W thanks in part to Nate Luzadder playing the best football he has all season. Luzadder rushed for 279 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.1 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Luzadder might have his next game, a road matchup with Elwood, circled on his calendar. Luzadder rushed for 182 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 10.7 yards per carry the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in September of 2023.
