Northern Plains (8 Man) 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!
Jeremiah Miller Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Lincoln was led to victory by Jeremiah Miller, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Miller threw for 409 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 12.8 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 159 yards and three touchdowns. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 3.4 passing touchdowns per game. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in October of 2023.
Unfortunately for Rock Hills, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Miller. When Miller last faced the Grizzlies back in September of 2023, he rushed for 37 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 60 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Dalton Garman Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Osborne got the W thanks in part to Dalton Garman playing the best football he has all season. Garman rushed for 176 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Garman must have Pike Valley's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Garman last faced the Panthers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
Gamescore: 53.30
Mcdill Made His Presence Known in Rock Hills' 74-24 Defeat
Rock Hills had to settle for second on Friday, but Cooper McDill sure wasn't going down easily. Lincoln had no answer to McDill as he picked up 98 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown. McDill also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making 12 total tackles and defending two passes.
For the year, McDill has thrown 2 touchdowns while averaging 54.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 38 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 119.2 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 50.88
Isaiah Ridgeway Makes It Two for Rock Hills
Keeping McDill company is Isaiah Ridgeway, a fellow Rock Hills player. He threw for 111 yards and a touchdown, and also caught a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble, making seven total tackles, and defending a pass.
This year, Ridgeway has thrown those 1 touchdown (and no picks) while averaging 22.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 23.6 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 123.6 rushing yards.

A Season-Best Performance from Xavier Miller Leads Lincoln over Rock Hills
On Friday, Lincoln got the W thanks in part to Xavier Miller playing the best football he has all season. Miller picked up 128 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
Rock Hills's probably not too fond of Miller given he always seems to get the better of them. Miller picked up 138 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Grizzlies duked it out back in September of 2023.
