Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Elk River to victory, but perhaps none more so than Braedon Becker, who rushed for 186 yards and one touchdown on only eight carries. Becker is becoming a predictor of the Elks' success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't). Levi Harris was in the mix as well, providing Elk River with two TDs.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Elk River was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 617 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
