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
On Friday, Lincoln got the W thanks in part to Jeremiah Miller playing the best football he has all season. 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.
Miller must have Rock Hills's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Miller rushed for 37 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 60 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Grizzlies duked it out back in September of 2023.

Dalton Garman Delivers Best Performance of Season
Osborne was led to victory by Dalton Garman, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. 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. Garman rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Mcdill Posts Huge Game in 74-24 Loss
While Rock Hills might've come up empty on Friday, Cooper McDill wasn't going down without a fight. McDill was unstoppable, picking up 98 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 63 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making 12 total tackles and defending two passes.
McDill and Rock Hills will take on Washington County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time McDill took on the Tigers, he rushed for 33 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 129 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

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. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he was only averaging 23.6 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 123.6 rushing yards.

A Season-Best Effort from Xavier Miller Leads Lincoln over Rock Hills
Lincoln was led to victory by Xavier Miller, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. 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. When Miller last faced the Grizzlies back in September of 2023, he picked up 138 receiving yards and a touchdown.
