Hoosier Heritage 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!
Cooper Hinton Goes Supernova in Greenfield-Central Victory
Starting off the list is Greenfield-Central's Cooper Hinton, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hinton made 16 total tackles (1.0 for loss). The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in rushing yards (149).
New Castle had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Hinton it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Hinton saw the Trojans), he picked up a sack, made seven total tackles (3.0 for loss), and defended two passes.

Big Game from Ranes As New Palestine Won 38-0
Josh Ranes's big game helped extend New Palestine's winning streak to seven on Friday. Ranes was dynamite, rushing for 235 yards while picking up 12.4 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.
If history really does repeat itself, Ranes might just drop another big game when he faces off against Mt. Vernon on Friday. When Ranes last faced the Marauders back in September, he rushed for 119 yards and four touchdowns on only 13 carries.

New Palestine Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Jacob Davis

For the season, Davis has thrown 17 touchdowns (and and only 1 picks) while averaging 152.9 passing yards per game.

Jones Made His Presence Known in Pendleton Heights' 42-14 Win
Pendleton Heights found a leader in Keaton Jones as the squad took down Shelbyville on Friday. Jones was unstoppable, rushing for 124 yards and four touchdowns.
If the past is any indication, Jones could be in store for another big game when he takes on New Castle on Friday. Jones rushed for 225 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in September.
