Mid-Southern 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 Boomer Hester Leads Charlestown over Corydon Central
Sadly, Boomer Hester posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Charlestown over Corydon Central on Friday. Hester rushed for 288 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 60 yards.
Hester and Charlestown will take on Salem at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The contest will pit Hester up against the Lions' star quarterback Adam Mull. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

Landon Shuck Delivers Electric Effort Vs Mitchell
Landon Shuck's big game helped extend Scottsburg's winning streak to five on Friday. Mitchell had no answer to Shuck as he rushed for 235 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 13.8 yards per carry, and also picked up 40 receiving yards. Shuck showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 60 yards.
Mitchell's probably not too fond of Shuck given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Shuck saw the Bluejackets), he rushed for 146 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also caught a touchdown.

Another Game with at Least 150 Rushing Yards from Carson Lawyer

The win (which was Corydon Central's third in a row) raised their record to 3-4. Lawyer and Corydon Central will head out to take on Providence at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

On the year, Doblado has averaged 5.3 total tackles per game.

The win snapped Salem's winning streak at five games and leaves them with a 2-5 record. Mull and Salem will look to defend their home field on Friday against Charlestown at 7:00 p.m.
