Western Illinois Valley - North 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!
Elijah Genenbacher Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Camp Point Central got the W thanks in part to Elijah Genenbacher playing the best football he has all season. Genenbacher rushed for 102 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 58 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 63 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If the past is any indication, Genenbacher could be in store for another big game when he takes on Carrollton on Saturday. Genenbacher rushed for 75 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries the last time he and the Hawks duked it out back in October of 2023.

Kellen Creviston Goes Supernova in Routt Catholic/Lutheran Loss
Kellen Creviston's tear continued on Friday as he dropped his third-straight game with 339+ passing yards dating back to last season. He threw for 407 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.0 yards per attempt, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground.
Brown County's probably not too fond of Creviston given he always seems to get the better of them. When Creviston last faced Brown County back in October of 2023, he threw for 317 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 49 yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 42.83
