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!
A Season-Best Effort from Elijah Genenbacher Leads Camp Point Central over Triopia/Meredosia-Chambersburg/Virginia
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. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained 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.

Dalton Brown Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Dalton Brown posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Routt Catholic/Lutheran over Brown County on Friday. Brown picked up 174 receiving yards and a touchdown.

For the season, Brown has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 48.1 receiving yards per game.
