TAIAO Division 2 - North (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Stephenville FAITH's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Luke Hindman
Luke Hindman helped snap Stephenville FAITH's five-game losing streak dating back to last season. On Friday Hindman rushed for 178 yards and five touchdowns on only 12 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble, making 24 total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defending a pass.
Stephenville FAITH's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-4. Their homestand will continue as they prepare to take on Lubbock T at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Gamescore: 90.50
Korbin Schmidt Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Saturday, Lubbock T had to settle for second even though Korbin Schmidt put up the best numbers he has all season. Schmidt rushed for 271 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.8 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also made ten total tackles and defended three passes.
If history really does repeat itself, Schmidt might just drop another big game when he faces off against Stephenville FAITH on Saturday. Schmidt rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also caught a touchdown the last time he and the Knights duked it out back in October of 2023.

Harvest Christian Academy found a leader in Landon Reeves as the team took down Grayson Christian on Friday. Grayson Christian had no answer to Reeves as he made nine total tackles.
Harvest Christian Academy's victory bumped their record up to 2-4. Reeves and Harvest Christian Academy will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Johnson County Sports Association at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.
Gamescore: 52.43
Scott Dosa's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
CenTex HomeSchool came up short on Friday despite Scott Dosa delivering his best game to date. Dosa rushed for 119 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 50 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 54 yards.
Dosa and CenTex HomeSchool will challenge Grace Academy at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Chargers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the , probably because Dosa had a solid game then too: he picked up 38 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 12 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
