Northeast Corner - Small School 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!
Churubusco Gets a Boost from Ianucilli in 42-18 Defeat
Starting off the list is Churubusco's Angelo Ianucilli, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ianucilli rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns. He has become a key player for Churubusco: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
Ianucilli must have Fairfield's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Ianucilli saw the Falcons), he rushed for 140 yards while picking up 8.8 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 23.55
Eastside had to settle for second on Friday, but Kaison Hewitt sure wasn't going down easily. Hewitt was dynamite, rushing for 71 yards and a touchdown.
With the defeat, Eastside broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 4-5. Their road trip will continue as they head out to face Whitko at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Brayden Bianski Makes It Two for Churubusco
The second Churubusco player making an appearance here is Brayden Bianski, and for good reason. He picked up 44 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending a pass.
This year, Bianski has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 20.3 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 17.78
While Brock Hagewood delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Prairie Heights. Despite the defeat, Hagewood was still balling out as he rushed for seven yards.
Prairie Heights has been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-5 record this season. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Panthers takes on Central Noble at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
