Highland 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!
Kane Graham Dazzles in Houghton Lake Win
Starting off the list is Houghton Lake's Kane Graham, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Graham rushed for 234 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.8 yards per carry. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Graham might have his next game, a home matchup with Evart, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Graham saw the Wildcats), he rushed for 232 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.3 yards per carry.

Evart had to settle for second on Friday, but Aidan Anderson sure wasn't going down easily. Anderson was dynamite, rushing for 105 yards and three touchdowns, while also throwing for 231 yards and a touchdown while completing 73.3% of his passes.
This is the second loss in a row for Evart and nudges their season record down to 4-3. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Wildcats challenges Houghton Lake at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 40.60
Roscommon had to settle for second on Friday, but Keaton Pratt sure wasn't going down easily. Pratt was dynamite, picking up 73 receiving yards, while also rushing for 45 yards.
Roscommon is on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-6. Pratt and Roscommon will venture away from home to face off against Lake City on Friday.

A Constellation of Stars for Roscommon
