Highland 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!
Kane Graham Dazzles in Houghton Lake Victory
Starting off the list is Houghton Lake's Kane Graham, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Graham rushed for 234 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.8 yards per carry. Those 234 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Graham might have his next game, a home matchup with Evart, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Graham saw the Wildcats), he rushed for 232 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.3 yards per carry.

While Aidan Anderson delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Evart. Nobody could stop Anderson as he rushed for 105 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 231 yards and a touchdown while completing 73.3% of his passes.
This is the second loss in a row for Evart and nudges their season record down to 4-3. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Wildcats dukes it out withHoughton Lake at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
