Northern Lakes 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!
Jaron Thomas' Big Game Leads Concord over Wawasee
Concord picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jaron Thomas. Thomas turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 116 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up 0.5 sacks and making eight total tackles.
Thomas might have his next game, a home matchup with Plymouth, circled on his calendar. Thomas rushed for 186 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries the last time he and the Pilgrims/Rockies duked it out back in October of 2023.

NorthWood had to settle for second on Friday, but Austin King sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the defeat, King was still balling out as he forced a fumble and made seven total tackles. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making seven total tackles.
NorthWood is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-5. King and NorthWood will take on Goshen at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Breveard Made His Presence Known in Concord's 44-7 Win
Concord picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Char'Rese Breveard. Breveard turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 143 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also punching in a touchdown on the ground. He was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 69 yards.
This year, Breveard has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 76.2 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 29.5 receiving yards per game.

Derek Sherwood Delivers Best Performance of Season
Northridge was led to victory by Derek Sherwood, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Sherwood rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries.
Goshen had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Sherwood it was a similar story. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Sherwood saw the RedHawks), he rushed for 63 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries.

Karsyn Rumfelt Makes It Two for Northridge
Another Northridge player making an appearance on this list is Karsyn Rumfelt. He rushed for six yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 135 yards and a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of Northridge's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 0-5 when he doesn't).
On the season, Rumfelt has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 148.1 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 1.63 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 13 rushing yards.
