Wabash River 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!
Andrew Botner Delivers Electric Effort Vs Fountain Central
Starting off the list is North Vermillion's Andrew Botner, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Botner rushed for 123 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 105 rushing yards dating back to last season.
The win was the fourth in a row for North Vermillion, bringing their record for this year to 7-1. Botner and North Vermillion will head out on the road to square off against Seeger at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Cian Moore and Co. Win Third in a Row
Covington picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Cian Moore. Nobody could stop Moore as he rushed for 189 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 166 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Attica's probably not too fond of Moore given he always seems to get the better of them. Moore rushed for 303 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.2 yards per carry, and also picked up 55 receiving yards the last time he and the Red Ramblers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Eli Foxworthy Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Fountain Central had to settle for second even though Eli Foxworthy put up the best numbers he has all season. Foxworthy rushed for 162 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 145 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Fountain Central is 3-1 when Foxworthy posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 0-4 otherwise.
This season, Foxworthy has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 99 passing yards per game.

Dallas Coleman Dazzles in South Vermillion Win
Dallas Coleman was instrumental in extending South Vermillion's winning streak to eight on Friday. Coleman was unstoppable, picking up 66 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 64 yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making ten total tackles.
Seeger had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Coleman it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Coleman saw the Patriots), he rushed for 99 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 74 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Big Game from Garzolini As South Vermillion Won 44-14

On the season, Garzolini has thrown 35 touchdowns (and and only 4 picks) while averaging 283.5 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had 22 passing touchdowns.
