Western Indiana - Green 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!
Kramer Made His Presence Known in North Putnam's 55-6 Win
Starting off the list is North Putnam's Christian Kramer, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Kramer rushed for 190 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.9 yards per carry, and also threw for 160 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 passes. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Unfortunately for Brown County, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Kramer. When Kramer last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 206 yards and three touchdowns.

Tayt Jackson Goes Supernova in Cloverdale Loss
Tayt Jackson posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 55 receiving yards. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 78-yard run.
West Vigo had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Jackson it was a similar story. When Jackson last faced the Vikings back in October of 2023, he rushed for 153 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also picked up 56 receiving yards and a touchdown.

A Season-Best Performance from Ty Benton Leads South Putnam over Owen Valley
South Putnam was led to victory by Ty Benton, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Benton wasn't messing around, rushing for 103 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries. The game was his fourth straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last four games he's played.
South Putnam pushed their record up to 6-2 with the victory, which was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season. Benton will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Cloverdale on Friday.
