The past weekend of high school football saw no shortage of insane statistical performances. We are highlighting some of those in the latest edition of Stat Freaks of the Week.

Nate Myers of Southern Huntingdon County (Three Springs, Pa.) tops the list after scoring nine touchdowns and making a difference on more than a dozen plays defensively in a 62-44 win Friday.

The senior signal caller threw for 273 yards and four touchdowns and ran for another 308 yards and five scores. He now has a total of 52 offensive touchdowns this season for the 6-3 Rockets.

Myers also went over 100 tackles on Friday by adding 11 more and a sack. When he stepped back in coverage, the linebacker deflected four passes.

Myers never stepped off the field, adding contributions as the team's punter and returner.

Blake Nichelson of Manteca (Calif.) is another Stat Freak who dominated on both sides of the ball last week. The Florida State commit rushed for a school record 400 yards and tied another school mark by reaching the end zone on the ground seven times. He is expected to play linebacker for the Seminoles.
