B - North 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 Performance from Roscoe Shaw Leads Conrad over Wolf Point/Frazer/Lustre Christian
On Friday, Conrad got the W thanks in part to Roscoe Shaw playing the best football he has all season. Shaw rushed for 145 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also caught a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 63 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Conrad's win ended a five-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 4-4. Shaw's next match is against Wolf Point on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Blaine Downing's Big Game Leads Malta/Whitewater/Saco/Dodson over Cut Bank
Blaine Downing's big game helped extend Malta/Whitewater/Saco/Dodson's winning streak to eight on Friday. Downing turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 105 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.
Cut Bank's probably not too fond of Downing given he always seems to get the better of them. Downing rushed for 208 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.4 yards per carry the last time he and the Wolves duked it out back in October of 2023.

Glasgow/Hinsdale/Nashua Gets a Boost from Gamas in 32-6 Win
Khye Gamas was instrumental in extending Glasgow/Hinsdale/Nashua's winning streak to three on Friday.

Gamas also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making a tackle and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
This year, Gamas has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 108.1 passing yards per game.

Malta/Whitewater/Saco/Dodson Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Mason Simanton

He didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended two passes.

Stockton Oxarart's big game helped extend Malta/Whitewater/Saco/Dodson's winning streak to eight on Friday. Oxarart did his part (and then some), throwing for 166 yards and three touchdowns for the 'W'. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making two total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
If history really does repeat itself, Oxarart might just drop another big game when he faces off against Fairfield/Augusta on Friday. Oxarart threw for 308 yards and four touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes the last time he and the duked it out back in October of 2023.
