C1 District 7 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 Bricen Wright Leads Chadron over Gering
Chadron came up short on Friday despite Bricen Wright delivering his best game to date. Wright picked up 115 receiving yards and two touchdowns, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making ten total tackles.
With the loss, Chadron broke their seven-game winning streak and moved their record to 7-1. Wright and Chadron will look to defend their home field on Friday against Sidney at 7:00 p.m.

Big Game from Smith As Ogallala Won 16-6
Sawyer Smith helped snap Ogallala's five-game losing streak. Smith was unstoppable on Friday, rushing for 118 yards and a touchdown.
On the year, Smith has run in 8 touchdowns while averaging 83.4 rushing yards per game.

Alek Doty and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Sidney picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Alek Doty. Doty was unstoppable, rushing for 47 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 161 yards and two touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes.
Sidney's victory was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-0. Doty and Sidney will head out to square off against Chadron at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 37.93
Another Game with at Least 140 Rushing Yards from Quinn Bailey
Quinn Bailey's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his 15th-straight game with 140+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 156 yards and a touchdown.
Gering had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Bailey it was a similar story. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Bailey saw the Bulldogs), he rushed for 245 yards and three touchdowns.
Gamescore: 29.02
Ogallala's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Kolby S Nowak
Ogallala's five-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Kolby S Nowak. S Nowak was dynamite on Friday, rushing for 47 yards and a touchdown.
S Nowak and Ogallala are taking a road trip to challenge Alliance at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Indians got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Bulldogs, probably because S Nowak had a solid game then too: he rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
