Conference Indiana 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Braylen Townsend Leads Bloomington South over Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory
Sadly, Braylen Townsend posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Bloomington South over Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory on Friday. Townsend rushed for 337 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry, and also picked up 60 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Bloomington South is undefeated when Townsend posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
On the year, Townsend has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 13.1 receiving yards per game.

Evan Saevre Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles
Evan Saevre produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Columbus North to the win on Friday. Saevre wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks and making 15 total tackles (8.0 for loss). The game was his eighth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
The victory (which was Columbus North's third in a row) raised their record to 7-1. Saevre and Columbus North will head out on the road to face off against Terre Haute South Vigo on Friday.

Samuel Weihert Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Terre Haute North Vigo had to settle for second even though Samuel Weihert put up the best numbers he has all season. Weihert picked up 82 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Terre Haute North Vigo has traveled a rocky road recently having lost five of their last six games, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-6 record this season. Weihert and Terre Haute North Vigo have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Bloomington North Gets a Boost from King in 35-34 Defeat
While Bloomington North might've come up empty on Friday, Dash King wasn't going down without a fight. King turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 89 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 153 yards and three touchdowns.
With the defeat, Bloomington North broke their six-game winning streak and moved their record to 6-2. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cougars takes on Southport at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Gino Prescott Makes It Two for Columbus North
The second Columbus North player making an appearance here is Gino Prescott, and for good reason. He rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.0 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 119 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Prescott might have his next game, a home matchup with Terre Haute South Vigo, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Prescott saw the Braves), he rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 65 receiving yards and a touchdown.
