Western Illinois Valley - 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!
Elijah Genenbacher Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Camp Point Central got the W thanks in part to Elijah Genenbacher playing the best football he has all season. Genenbacher rushed for 102 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 58 yards and a touchdown. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 63 yards.
Genenbacher might have his next game, a road matchup with Carrollton, circled on his calendar. When Genenbacher last faced the Hawks back in October of 2023, he rushed for 75 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries.

Kellen Creviston's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Routt Catholic/Lutheran over Brown County
Kellen Creviston continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 339 passing yards. He threw for 407 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.0 yards per attempt, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground.
Creviston must have Brown County's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Creviston threw for 317 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 49 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and Brown County duked it out back in October of 2023.

Kadin Niekamp Makes It Two for Camp Point Central
The second Camp Point Central player making an appearance here is Kadin Niekamp, and for good reason. He rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.
On the season, Niekamp has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 47 rushing yards per game.

Dalton Brown Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Routt Catholic/Lutheran had to settle for second even though Dalton Brown put up the best numbers he has all season. Brown picked up 174 receiving yards and a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of Routt Catholic/Lutheran's success: when he posts at least 80 receiving yards the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
This season, Brown has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 48.1 receiving yards per game.
