Eastern Cincinnati 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Luke Brand Leads Milford over Little Miami
On Friday, Milford got the W thanks in part to Luke Brand playing the best football he has all season. Brand threw for 293 yards and two touchdowns while completing 84.6% of his passes, and also punched in three touchdowns on the ground. He is becoming a predictor of Milford's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 2-4 when he doesn't).
Milford moved to 4-5 with that win, which also ended their four-game losing streak. Brand's next contest is against Turpin on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Justice Burnam Goes Supernova in Anderson Victory
Justice Burnam was instrumental in extending Anderson's winning streak to nine on Friday. Nobody could stop Burnam as he threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns while completing 78.1% of his passes, and also rushed for 35 yards and a touchdown.
Burnam might have his next game, a home matchup with Loveland, circled on his calendar. When Burnam last faced the Tigers back in August of 2023, he threw for 391 yards and three touchdowns while completing 79.4% of his passes, and also rushed for 96 yards.
