Mid-Southern 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!
Boomer Hester Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Charlestown had to settle for second even though Boomer Hester put up the best numbers he has all season. Hester rushed for 288 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 60 yards.
Hester and Charlestown will challenge Salem at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Hester will face off against Adam Mull, the Lions' star quarterback. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Landon Shuck Goes Supernova in Scottsburg Victory
Landon Shuck was instrumental in extending Scottsburg's winning streak to five on Friday. Shuck turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 235 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 13.8 yards per carry, and also picking up 40 receiving yards. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 60 yards.
Unfortunately for Mitchell, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Shuck. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Shuck saw the Bluejackets), he rushed for 146 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also caught a touchdown.
