C1 District 3 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!
Welchert Came Up Big in Fort Calhoun's 20-16 Defeat
Starting off the list is Fort Calhoun's Blake Welchert, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Welchert rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also made four total tackles and defended two passes in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown.
Welchert is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Central City on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Welchert saw the Bison), he picked up 45 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 94 yards.

Jedd Ramold Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Mount Michael Benedictine had to settle for second even though Jedd Ramold put up the best numbers he has all season. Ramold's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 103 rushing yards. He also punched in two rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Mount Michael Benedictine is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 0-6 otherwise.
For the year, Ramold has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 69.1 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 12.63 rushing yards per game.

Logan View/Scribner-Snyder's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Josh Egbers
Josh Egbers helped snap Logan View/Scribner-Snyder's three-game losing streak. Egbers turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday, rushing for 128 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.1 yards per carry.
On the season, Egbers has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 104.2 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.11 rushing yards per game.

Nolan Asher and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Nolan Asher was instrumental in extending Douglas County West's winning streak to four on Friday. Asher was dynamite, picking up 69 receiving yards and a touchdown.
On the year, Asher has caught 8 touchdowns while averaging 59.8 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 3.44 receiving yards per game.

Wahoo Gets a Boost from Brigham in 54-8 Win
Kip Brigham's big game helped extend Wahoo's winning streak to nine on Friday. Concordia had no answer to Brigham as he rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. Brigham's longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If the past is any indication, Brigham could be in store for another big game when he takes on Douglas County West on Friday. Back in September (the last time Brigham saw the Falcon), he picked up 122 receiving yards and a touchdown.
