Lincoln Prairie 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!
Noah Wilcoxon Turns in Season-Best Effort
Villa Grove was led to victory by Noah Wilcoxon, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Wilcoxon picked up 90 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground.
Wilcoxon must have Cerro Gordo/Bement's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Wilcoxon picked up 130 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Broncos duked it out back in September of 2023.

Herpstreith Came Up Big in Nokomis' 26-8 Defeat
Nolan Herpstreith's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his fourth-straight game with 100+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown.
If the past is any indication, Herpstreith could be in store for another big game when he takes on Sullivan-Okaw Valley/Bethany on Friday. When Herpstreith last faced Sullivan-Okaw Valley/Bethany back in October of 2023, he rushed for 194 yards and two touchdowns.

Villa Grove's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Jacob Golightly
Villa Grove's seven-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Jacob Golightly. Golightly produced his best game of the campaign on Friday: he rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown.
This year, Golightly has run in those 1 touchdown while averaging 15.8 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 3.17 rushing yards per game.

Aian Fryman Delivers Electric Performance Vs Sangamon Valley/Tri-City
Sullivan-Okaw Valley/Bethany picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Aian Fryman. Fryman was unstoppable, rushing for 145 yards. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 139 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Sangamon Valley/Tri-City's probably not too fond of Fryman given he always seems to get the better of them. When Fryman last faced the Storm back in September of 2023, he rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 34 receiving yards and a touchdown.
