Big Game from Ullom As Monroe Central Won 45-0
Starting off the list is Monroe Central's Jerimiah Ullom, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ullom rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up three sacks and made six total tackles.
Unfortunately for Irvington Preparatory Academy, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Ullom. Ullom picked up 55 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 37 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the duked it out back in October of 2023.

Corbin Thackery and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
North Decatur picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Corbin Thackery. Thackery was dynamite, rushing for 104 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.
Thackery must have Edinburgh's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Thackery rushed for 81 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries the last time he and the Lancers duked it out back in October of 2023.
