1A East (8 Man) 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!
Parker Filleman Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Lincoln Prep got the W thanks in part to Parker Filleman playing the best football he has all season. Filleman threw for 227 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.4 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 72 yards.
Filleman must have Duncan's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Filleman last faced the Wildkats back in October of 2023, he threw for 348 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 16.6 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 61 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries.

Hayden Wins 21st-Straight Thanks to Tyler Garner
Tyler Garner was instrumental in extending Hayden's winning streak to 21 on Friday. Garner did his part (and then some), rushing for 110 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries for the 'W'. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 100 rushing yards dating back to last season.
On the year, Garner has averaged 15.9 receiving yards per game.

Kino Lorona Goes Supernova in Hayden Victory
Hayden picked up their 21st consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kino Lorona. Lorona turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 67 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
On the season, Lorona has averaged 23.8 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after nine games last season, he had 12 rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 20.

Dilley Made His Presence Known in Lincoln Prep's 56-20 Victory
The second Lincoln Prep player making an appearance here is Finn Dilley, and for good reason. He rushed for 54 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 81 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making four total tackles (2.5 for loss).
Duncan had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Dilley it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Dilley saw the Wildkats), he rushed for 183 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also picked up 121 receiving yards and a touchdown.

For the season, Mewhinney has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 47.5 receiving yards per game.
