D1 District 4 (8 Man) 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!
Barrett Wilke Dazzles in Stanton Victory
Barrett Wilke was instrumental in extending Stanton's winning streak to 19 on Friday. Nobody could stop Wilke as he rushed for 310 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 17.2 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his 12th straight game with at least 124 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Wilke must have Elkhorn Valley's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Wilke last faced the Falcons back in September of 2023, he rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.5 yards per carry, and also threw for 222 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 passes.

Stanton Wins 19th-Straight Thanks to Becker Pohlman

Summerland [Clearwater/Ewing/Orchard] Gets a Boost from Schindler in 55-0 Win
Alec Schindler put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Thursday. He picked up 65 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown.
Lutheran-Northeast's probably not too fond of Schindler given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Schindler saw the Eagles), he picked up 129 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 24 yards and a touchdown.
