A District 4 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Cash Buettenback Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Lincoln Southeast's Cash Buettenback, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Buettenback rushed for 175 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (109.7). That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September of 2023.
On the season, Buettenback has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 109.7 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 68.29 rushing yards per game.

Alonzo Torrez Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Alonzo Torrez posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead North Platte over Lincoln Southeast on Friday. Torrez rushed for 171 yards and three touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of North Platte's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 2-1 (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
For the season, Torrez has run in 8 touchdowns while averaging 92.7 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 3.86 rushing yards per game.

Big Game from Bollen As Lincoln Southeast Won 35-28
The second Lincoln Southeast player making an appearance here is Tre Bollen, and for good reason. He threw for 136 yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
This season, Bollen has thrown 9 touchdowns while averaging 120.4 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 19.64 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 96.2 passer rating.

Millard South's win was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Prince and Millard South will face off against North Platte at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
