3A-2 Region II District 7 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!
Braden Ulmer Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Howe's Braden Ulmer, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Ulmer rushed for 249 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 87-yard run.
For the season, Ulmer has run in 13 touchdowns while averaging 127.2 rushing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 4.5 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 15.17 receiving yards.

Caleb Gaddis Delivers Best Effort of Season

Bryson Thompson Turns in Season-Best Performance
Bells was led to victory by Bryson Thompson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Thompson rushed for 132 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.8 yards per carry. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 51 yards.
Callisburg's probably not too fond of Thompson given he always seems to get the better of them. When Thompson last faced the Wildcats back in September of 2023, he rushed for 153 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries.

Keeping Thompson company is Jaxon Brown, a fellow Bells player. He picked up 66 receiving yards and a touchdown. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 66 yards.
