Pocket - Big 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!
Jett Goldsberry Delivers Electric Performance Vs Washington
Jett Goldsberry was instrumental in extending Heritage Hills's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Goldsberry as he threw for 133 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up 0.5 sacks, making five total tackles, and defending a pass.
Washington's probably not too fond of Goldsberry given he always seems to get the better of them. Goldsberry threw for 141 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Hatchets duked it out back in October of 2023.

Princeton's loss was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-8. Cox and Princeton will welcome Vincennes Lincoln at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.

Hunter Meredith and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Heritage Hills picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Hunter Meredith. Meredith turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 62 yards on only five carries, while also catching a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles and defended a pass.
Washington had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Meredith it was a similar story. Meredith picked up 76 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 44 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Hatchets duked it out back in October of 2023.

Davis Came Up Big in Boonville's 42-14 Defeat

This year, Davis has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 82.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 15.44 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 60.56 rushing yards.
