Eastern Indiana - Small 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!
Quinn Barada Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Rushville was led to victory by Quinn Barada, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Barada rushed for 233 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (113.6) per game. Those 233 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
If history really does repeat itself, Barada might just drop another big game when he faces off against Franklin County on Friday. When Barada last faced the Wildcats back in September, he rushed for 152 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries.

Franklin County Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Mason Wewe

For the season, Wewe has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 80 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 16.67 rushing yards per game.

Sam Pavey Makes It Two for Rushville
The second Rushville player making an appearance here is Sam Pavey, and for good reason. He rushed for 84 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries.
On the year, Pavey has run in 11 touchdowns while averaging 65.1 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he had three rushing touchdowns.
Gamescore: 39.15
Gage Pohlman Delivers Best Effort of Season
Gage Pohlman produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Batesville to the win on Friday. Pohlman rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also picked up 30 receiving yards.
Unfortunately for Connersville, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Pohlman. Pohlman rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also caught a touchdown the last time he and the Spartans duked it out back in October of 2023.
