Hoosier Heritage 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!
Cooper Hinton Goes Supernova in Greenfield-Central Win
Starting off the list is Greenfield-Central's Cooper Hinton, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hinton made 16 total tackles (1.0 for loss). The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in rushing yards (149).
New Castle had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Hinton it was a similar story. Hinton picked up a sack, made seven total tackles (3.0 for loss), and defended two passes the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in October of 2023.

New Palestine Gets a Boost from Ranes in 38-0 Win
Josh Ranes's big game helped extend New Palestine's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Ranes as he rushed for 235 yards while picking up 12.4 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.
If history really does repeat itself, Ranes might just drop another big game when he faces off against Mt. Vernon on Friday. Ranes rushed for 119 yards and four touchdowns on only 13 carries the last time he and the Marauders duked it out back in September.
Gamescore: 45.98
New Palestine Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Jacob Davis
New Palestine picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jacob Davis. Davis was dynamite, throwing for 138 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 44 yards and two touchdowns.
On the year, Davis has thrown 17 touchdowns (and and only 1 picks) while averaging 152.9 passing yards per game.

Jones Came Up Big in Pendleton Heights' 42-14 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Keaton Jones stepped things up a notch to give Pendleton Heights the 'W'. Nobody could stop Jones as he rushed for 124 yards and four touchdowns.
Jones is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against New Castle on Friday. Jones rushed for 225 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in September.
