Northeast Corner - 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!
Breckan Maran Delivers Electric Performance Vs Lakeland
Starting off the list is Fairfield's Breckan Maran, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Maran rushed for 137 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry.
If the past is any indication, Maran could be in store for another big game when he takes on Churubusco on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Maran saw the Eagles), he rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries.

Garrett Gets a Boost from Hefty in 42-14 Victory
Garrett picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Calder Hefty. Hefty did his part (and then some), rushing for 144 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries for the 'W'.
Garrett's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-0. Hefty and Garrett will face off against Central Noble at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 46.17
Carson Mickem put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 122 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the season, Mickem has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 47.9 rushing yards per game.

Estil Pruitt Dazzles in West Noble Victory
West Noble found a leader in Estil Pruitt as the team took down Churubusco on Friday. Pruitt was dynamite, rushing for 142 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.4 yards per carry.
Pruitt is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Angola on Friday. When Pruitt last faced the Hornets back in September, he rushed for 291 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry.

Blake Metzger Makes It Two for Fairfield
The second Fairfield player making an appearance here is Blake Metzger, and for good reason. He rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles and defending a pass.
Metzger might have his next game, a home matchup with Churubusco, circled on his calendar. When Metzger last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per carry.
