Indiana Crossroads 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!
Braden Brown Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Triton Central's Braden Brown, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Brown made two total tackles. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 77-yard run.
The victory was the fifth in a row for Triton Central, bringing their record for this year to 7-2. Brown and Triton Central will head out on the road to take on Union County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Ryder Pool Goes Supernova in Monrovia Win
Keeping Bryant company is Ryder Pool, a fellow Monrovia player. He rushed for 81 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also caught a touchdown.
Pool and Monrovia have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Indianapolis Scecina Memorial at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Pool took on the Crusaders, he rushed for 81 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also caught a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance?

Franklin Weilbrenner Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Beech Grove had to settle for second even though Franklin Weilbrenner put up the best numbers he has all season. Weilbrenner wasn't messing around, making 27 total tackles (3.0 for loss) and defending a pass. The contest was his ninth straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Beech Grove's defeat ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 4-5. Weilbrenner will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Greenfield-Central on Friday.

Clay Thacker Has Career Rushing Day
Monrovia was led to victory by Clay Thacker, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Thacker rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 163 yards and a touchdown on perfect 8-for-8 passing, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Thacker and Monrovia have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Indianapolis Scecina Memorial at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bulldogs got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Crusaders, probably because Thacker had a solid game then too: he rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 163 yards and a touchdown on perfect 8-for-8 passing. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
