Big Twelve 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!
Hanley Came Up Big in Peoria Notre Dame's 62-28 Loss
Starting off the list is Peoria Notre Dame's Jack Hanley, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hanley rushed for 183 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.7 yards per carry. He is becoming a predictor of Peoria Notre Dame's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 2-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
This year, Hanley has run in 13 touchdowns while averaging 118.5 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 34.20
Lawson Alwan Delivers Electric Performance Vs Christian Brothers
Keeping Hanley company is Lawson Alwan, a fellow Peoria Notre Dame player. He rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also picked up 61 receiving yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Alwan has averaged 15.4 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 25.47
Lanier Posts Huge Game in 44-28 Defeat
While Rob Lanier delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Bloomington. Lanier was unstoppable, rushing for 94 yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Lanier might just drop another big game when he faces off against Centennial on Friday. When Lanier last faced the Chargers back in September of 2023, he rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries.
Gamescore: 21.75
A Season-Best Performance from Keyontae Hamilton Leads Bloomington over Peoria
Bloomington came up short on Friday despite Keyontae Hamilton delivering his best game to date. Hamilton picked up 107 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Hamilton and Bloomington will face off against Centennial at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Hamilton took on the Chargers, he picked up 62 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 36 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

This season, Bye has averaged 3.6 total tackles per game.
