Northern Lakes - Buckeye 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!
Grant Kinnee Goes Supernova in Anthony Wayne Win
Anthony Wayne picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Grant Kinnee. Kinnee was dynamite, throwing for 94 yards and three touchdowns while completing 87.5% of his passes, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground.
Springfield had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Kinnee it was a similar story. When Kinnee last faced the Blue Devils back in October of 2023, he rushed for 169 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 133 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.

On the season, Gardner has averaged 39.1 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 9.71 receiving yards per game.
