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 Delivers Electric Performance Vs Lake City
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 is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Evart on Friday. Graham rushed for 232 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.3 yards per carry the last time he and the Wildcats duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 59.65
Evart had to settle for second on Friday, but Aidan Anderson sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the loss, Anderson was still balling out as he rushed for 105 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw 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 faces off against Houghton Lake at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 40.60
Derscheid Came Up Big in Evart's 36-29 Loss
Keeping Anderson company is Dryson Derscheid, a fellow Evart player. He picked up 112 receiving yards and a touchdown.
For the season, Derscheid has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 44.6 receiving yards per game.

Tyler Bailey Makes It Two for Houghton Lake
The second Houghton Lake player making an appearance here is Tyler Bailey, and for good reason. He rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
Gamescore: 22.00
A Constellation of Stars for Evart
Another Evart player making an appearance on this list is Noah Vanderlinde. He picked up 99 receiving yards.
Vanderlinde must have McBain's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Vanderlinde last faced the Ramblers back in October of 2023, he picked up 131 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
