Cahokia - Mississippi 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!
Kaden Rakers' Big Game Leads Breese Central over Columbia
Kaden Rakers was instrumental in extending Breese Central's winning streak to eight on Friday. Rakers did his part (and then some), picking up 54 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 44 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
Columbia's probably not too fond of Rakers given he always seems to get the better of them. Rakers rushed for 175 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 62 receiving yards the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 39.50
Roxana found a leader in Mason Crump as the squad took down East Alton-Wood River on Friday. Crump was unstoppable, making 12 total tackles.
For the year, Crump has averaged 2.1 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 13.13 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 75.25 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 36.13
Max Autery Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Max Autery posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He made eight total tackles (3.0 for loss).
On the year, Autery has averaged 10.4 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 2.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 9.63 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 34.15
Columbia was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Logan Hicks did his best to prevent it. Hicks was unstoppable, rushing for 20 yards.
