Northeast Corner - Big 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!
Breckan Maran Dazzles in Fairfield Victory
Starting off the list is Fairfield's Breckan Maran, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Maran rushed for 137 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry.
Maran might have his next game, a home matchup with Churubusco, circled on his calendar. Maran rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.

Hefty Came Up Big in Garrett's 42-14 Win
Calder Hefty's big game helped extend Garrett's winning streak to eight on Friday. Nobody could stop Hefty as he rushed for 144 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries.
Garrett pushed their record up to 8-0 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Hefty and Garrett will square off against Central Noble at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 46.17
Carson Mickem put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 122 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
This season, Mickem has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 47.9 rushing yards per game.

Pruitt Posts Huge Game in 58-0 Win
Estil Pruitt was a major factor in West Noble's victory over Churubusco on Friday. Nobody could stop Pruitt as he rushed for 142 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.4 yards per carry.
Churubusco's probably not too fond of Pruitt given he always seems to get the better of them. When Pruitt last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown.

Blake Metzger Makes It Two for Fairfield
The second Fairfield player making an appearance here is Blake Metzger, and for good reason. He rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles and defending a pass.
If history really does repeat itself, Metzger might just drop another big game when he faces off against Churubusco on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Metzger saw the Eagles), he rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per carry.
