B - North 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!
Roscoe Shaw Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Conrad got the W thanks in part to Roscoe Shaw playing the best football he has all season. Shaw rushed for 145 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also caught a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 63 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Conrad's victory ended a five-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 4-4. Shaw and Conrad will welcome Wolf Point/Frazer/Lustre Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Blaine Downing's Big Game Leads Malta/Whitewater/Saco/Dodson over Cut Bank
Blaine Downing's big game helped extend Malta/Whitewater/Saco/Dodson's winning streak to eight on Friday. Cut Bank had no answer to Downing as he rushed for 105 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries. That's the most rushing yards Downing has posted since back in August.
Downing must have Cut Bank's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Downing saw the Wolves), he rushed for 208 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.4 yards per carry.

He didn't just play on offense: he also made a tackle and defended a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
