Braylen Townsend Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Bloomington South had to settle for second even though Braylen Townsend put up the best numbers he has all season. 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 has become a key player for Bloomington South: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
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
On Friday, Columbus North got the W thanks in part to Evan Saevre playing the best football he has all season. Saevre wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks and making 15 total tackles (8.0 for loss). The match was his eighth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
The victory (which was Columbus North's third in a row) raised their record to 7-1. Saevre and Columbus North will venture away from home to challenge Terre Haute South Vigo on Friday.

Samuel Weihert Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Terre Haute North Vigo had to settle for second even though Samuel Weihert put up the best numbers he has all season. 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.

Big Game from King As Bloomington North Fell 35-34
While Dash King delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Bloomington North. Despite the loss, King was still balling out as he rushed for 89 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 153 yards and three touchdowns.
The defeat 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 faces off against Southport at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Gino Prescott Makes It Two for Columbus North
Another Columbus North player making an appearance on this list is Gino Prescott. 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.
Prescott is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Terre Haute South Vigo on Friday. When Prescott last faced the Braves back in October of 2023, he rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 65 receiving yards and a touchdown.
