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!
Rio Litmer Turns in Season-Best Effort
Highlands was led to victory by Rio Litmer, who turned in his biggest game of the season 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. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 75 yards.
Litmer and Highlands are taking a road trip to take on Boone County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Litmer took on the Rebels, 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?
