Tri-Eastern 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!
Jace Hollendonner's Big Game Leads Centerville over Knightstown
Starting off the list is Centerville's Jace Hollendonner, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hollendonner rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also threw for 149 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 62 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Hollendonner might just drop another big game when he faces off against Eastern Hancock on Friday. Back in September (the last time Hollendonner saw the Royals), he threw for 173 yards and a touchdown while completing 73.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 60 yards.

Jeremiah Mull Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Centerville got the W thanks in part to Jeremiah Mull playing the best football he has all season. Mull rushed for 133 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.8 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
For the year, Mull has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 43.8 rushing yards per game.

Northeastern Wins Ninth-Straight Thanks to Blake Waters
Blake Waters's big game helped extend Northeastern's winning streak to nine on Friday. Waters was dynamite, rushing for 115 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.
Northeastern pushed their record up to 9-0 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road. Waters and Northeastern will host Lapel at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Cooper Engle and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Tri picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Cooper Engle. Engle turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 88 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also made three total tackles and defended a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
On the season, Engle has averaged 2.9 total tackles per game and for the season has 2 interceptions.

Another Game with at Least 104 Rushing Yards from Dylan Ross
Dylan Ross was instrumental in extending Northeastern's winning streak to nine on Friday. Ross' rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 104 rushing yards dating back to last season.
This year, Ross has averaged 27 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had four rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to ten.
