Conference Indiana 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Braylen Townsend Leads Bloomington South over Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory
Sadly, Braylen Townsend posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Bloomington South over Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory on Friday. Townsend rushed for 337 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry, and also picked up 60 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Bloomington South's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-4 when he doesn't).
For the year, Townsend has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 13.1 receiving yards per game.

Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Evan Saevre
Columbus North was led to victory by Evan Saevre, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Saevre wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks and making 15 total tackles (8.0 for loss). The contest was his eighth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
The win was the third in a row for Columbus North, bringing their record for this year to 7-1. Saevre and Columbus North will head out on the road to square off against Terre Haute South Vigo on Friday.

Samuel Weihert Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Samuel Weihert posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Terre Haute North Vigo over Guerin Catholic on Friday. Weihert picked up 82 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Terre Haute North Vigo has been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-6 record this season. Weihert and Terre Haute North Vigo will play host again on Friday to welcome Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:30 p.m.
Gamescore: 44.53
King Posts Huge Game in 35-34 Loss
While Dash King delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Bloomington North. Despite the defeat, King was still balling out as he rushed for 89 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 153 yards and three touchdowns.
The loss snapped Bloomington North's winning streak at six games and leaves them with a 6-2 record. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cougars takes on Southport at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 42.40
Gino Prescott Makes It Two for Columbus North
The second Columbus North player making an appearance here is Gino Prescott, and for good reason. He rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.0 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 119 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Prescott could be in store for another big game when he takes on Terre Haute South Vigo on Friday. Prescott rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 65 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Braves duked it out back in October of 2023.
