He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing two fumbles, making 14 total tackles, and defending two passes.

Sioux County Gets a Boost from Hunter in 62-0 Victory
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Jack Hunter stepped things up a notch to give Sioux County the 'W'. Hunter was dynamite, rushing for 152 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 54 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Hunter must have Minatare's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Hunter last faced the Indians back in October of 2023, he rushed for 95 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries.

A Season-Best Effort from Tripp Buettner Leads Hay Springs over Crawford
On Friday, Hay Springs got the W thanks in part to Tripp Buettner playing the best football he has all season. Buettner rushed for 143 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 32 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made six total tackles in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown.
Buettner and Hay Springs will head out to take on Cody-Kilgore on Friday. The match will pit Buettner up against the Cowboys/Cowgirls' star RB Brady Skinner. Will the game be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Hunter Mcdonald Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Hay Springs got the W thanks in part to Hunter McDonald playing the best football he has all season. McDonald picked up 107 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble, making 11 total tackles, and defending a pass.
For the season, McDonald has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 32 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he had two receiving touchdowns.
