Circle City 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!
Cj Harris Dazzles in Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory Victory
Starting off the list is Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory's Cj Harris, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Harris rushed for 171 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry, and also picked up 30 receiving yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 108 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Terre Haute North Vigo's probably not too fond of Harris given he always seems to get the better of them. Harris rushed for 147 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries the last time he and the Patriots duked it out back in October of 2023.

Vargas Made His Presence Known in Guerin Catholic's 22-21 Defeat
Dylan Vargas continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 12th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He picked up a sack and made 20 total tackles.
Guerin Catholic has been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-5 record this season. Vargas and Guerin Catholic will look to defend their home field on Friday against West Vigo at 7:00 p.m.

Maverick Geske Makes It Two for Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory
The second Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory player making an appearance here is Maverick Geske, and for good reason. He threw for 396 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.7 yards per attempt. His passing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 396 passing yards dating back to last season.
Unfortunately for Terre Haute North Vigo, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Geske. Geske threw for 208 yards and five touchdowns on only 13 passes the last time he and the Patriots duked it out back in October of 2023.

A Season-Best Performance from Dominic Elliott Leads Guerin Catholic over Lafayette Central Catholic
On Friday, Guerin Catholic had to settle for second even though Dominic Elliott put up the best numbers he has all season. Elliott wasn't messing around, making 17 total tackles (1.0 for loss) and snagged an interception. The game was his ninth straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season.
On the season, Elliott has averaged 11.7 total tackles per game and for the season has 2 interceptions. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 2.56 total tackles per game.
