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!
Hardeman Made His Presence Known in Lyons-Decatur Northeast's 63-6 Win
Starting off the list is Lyons-Decatur Northeast's Gavin Hardeman, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hardeman rushed for 145 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries.
Hardeman is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Bancroft-Rosalie on Friday. Hardeman rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in September of 2023.
Gamescore: 71.75
Graysen Briggs Has Career-Day on Friday
Graysen Briggs posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 189 yards and a touchdown while picking up 11.8 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 51 yards.
Briggs might have his next game, a road matchup with Lyons-Decatur Northeast, circled on his calendar. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Briggs saw the Cougars), he rushed for 171 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries.
Gamescore: 45.65
Braylon Wegner and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Bancroft-Rosalie picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Braylon Wegner. Wegner turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 66 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Wegner is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Lyons-Decatur Northeast on Friday. When Wegner last faced the Cougars back in September of 2023, he picked up 108 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 40.27
Andrew Haberman Turns in Season-Best Performance
Wynot was led to victory by Andrew Haberman, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Haberman rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also caught a touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 54 yards.
Haberman and Wynot will face off against Winside at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The game will pit Haberman up against the Wildcats' star wideout Mace Magwire. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
