B - North 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!
Roscoe Shaw Delivers Best Effort of Season
Conrad was led to victory by Roscoe Shaw, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Shaw rushed for 145 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also caught a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 63 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Conrad's victory ended a five-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 4-4. Shaw will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Wolf Point on Friday.

Blaine Downing's Big Game Leads Malta/Whitewater/Saco/Dodson over Cut Bank
Blaine Downing's big game helped extend Malta/Whitewater/Saco/Dodson's winning streak to eight on Friday. Cut Bank had no answer to Downing as he rushed for 105 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries. That's the most rushing yards Downing has posted since back in August.
Cut Bank had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Downing it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Downing saw the Wolves), he rushed for 208 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.4 yards per carry.
