Braeden Hites Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Crawfordsville was led to victory by Braeden Hites, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Hites rushed for 124 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making four total tackles.
Frankfort had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Hites it was a similar story. Hites rushed for 91 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries the last time he and the Hot Dogs duked it out back in October of 2023.

Another Game with at Least 105 Rushing Yards from Rolando Castillo
Rolando Castillo's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his fourth-straight game with 105+ rushing yards. He made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Frankfort is on an 18-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-9. Castillo and Frankfort will challenge Huntington North at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 37.13
Sutton Fulwider and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Sutton Fulwider was instrumental in extending Danville's winning streak to eight on Friday. Nobody could stop Fulwider as he made five total tackles and defended two passes. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
Danville's win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-1. Fulwider and Danville will face off against Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Malachi Walden Delivers Electric Effort Vs Southmont
Rounding off our Top Five is Malachi Walden of Tri-West Hendricks. Walden threw for 204 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 passes, and also rushed for 41 yards and a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of Tri-West Hendricks' success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is 4-1 (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
Walden must have Southmont's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Walden rushed for 205 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry the last time he and the Mounties duked it out back in October of 2023.
