Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Cole Graham Delivers Best Effort of Season
Capital was led to victory by Cole Graham, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Graham rushed for 101 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
If history really does repeat itself, Graham might just drop another big game when he faces off against Butte on Thursday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Graham saw the Bulldogs), he rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries.

Presley Made His Presence Known in Glacier's 35-7 Win
Jackson Presley was a major factor in Glacier's victory over Big Sky on Thursday. Presley was dynamite, throwing for 337 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per attempt, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground.
Presley might have his next game, a road matchup with Sentinel, circled on his calendar. Presley threw for 311 yards and four touchdowns while completing 73.9% of his passes the last time he and the Spartans duked it out back in November of 2023.
