5A District 6 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Effort from Rio Litmer Leads Highlands over Dixie Heights
Rio Litmer produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Highlands to the win on Friday. Litmer threw for 217 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 passes, and also rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.
Litmer and Highlands will venture away from home to challenge Boone County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bluebirds got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Rebels, probably because Litmer had a solid game then too: he threw for 87 yards and three touchdowns on perfect 5-for-5 passing, and also rushed for 34 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Cooper Gets a Boost from O'hara in 42-17 Victory
Cam O'Hara's big game helped extend Cooper's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Conner had no answer to O'Hara as he threw for 261 yards and four touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes.
Unfortunately for Conner, this isn't the first big game they've seen from O'Hara. O'Hara threw for 143 yards and two touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 91 yards on only eight carries the last time he and the Cougars duked it out back in September of 2023.

Keagan Maher's Big Game Leads Cooper over Conner

Kaymon Coleman Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Scott got the W thanks in part to Kaymon Coleman playing the best football he has all season. Coleman rushed for 82 yards and two touchdowns.
Coleman must have Boone County's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Coleman last faced the Rebels back in September of 2023, he rushed for 104 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries.
