Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Effort from Elijiah Oehlke Leads Trinity Christian over North Raleigh Christian Academy
Trinity Christian was led to victory by Elijiah Oehlke, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Oehlke wasn't messing around, throwing for 433 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 14.9 yards per attempt. The matchup was his fourth straight with three or more passing touchdowns dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Oehlke might just drop another big game when he faces off against GRACE Christian on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Oehlke saw the Eagles), he rushed for 98 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 247 yards and four touchdowns while completing 78.9% of his passes.
