C1 District 7 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!
Bricen Wright Delivers Best Performance of Season
Chadron came up short on Friday despite Bricen Wright delivering his best game to date. Wright picked up 115 receiving yards and two touchdowns, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making ten total tackles.
The loss snapped Chadron's winning streak at seven games and leaves them with a 7-1 record. Wright and Chadron will be playing in front of their home fans against Sidney at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Ogallala Gets a Boost from Smith in 16-6 Victory
Thanks in part to Sawyer Smith, Ogallala said goodbye to their five-game losing streak. Smith was unstoppable on Friday, rushing for 118 yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Smith has run in 8 touchdowns while averaging 83.4 rushing yards per game.

Alek Doty and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Alek Doty's big game helped extend Sidney's winning streak to eight on Friday. Nobody could stop Doty as he rushed for 47 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 161 yards and two touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes.
Sidney pushed their record up to 8-0 with the victory, which was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season. Doty and Sidney will head out on the road to square off against Chadron at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 37.93
Another Game with at Least 140 Rushing Yards from Quinn Bailey
Quinn Bailey's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his 15th-straight game with 140+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 156 yards and a touchdown.
Gering's probably not too fond of Bailey given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Bailey saw the Bulldogs), he rushed for 245 yards and three touchdowns.

Ogallala's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Kolby S Nowak
Thanks in part to Kolby S Nowak, Ogallala said goodbye to their five-game losing streak. Nobody could stop S Nowak on Friday as he rushed for 47 yards and a touchdown.
S Nowak and Ogallala are taking a road trip to challenge Alliance at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Indians got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Bulldogs, probably because S Nowak had a solid game then too: he rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
