Wabash River 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!
Noah Dodson Has Career Rushing Day
Starting off the list is Fountain Central's Noah Dodson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Dodson made 11 total tackles (1.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
For the season, Dodson has averaged 9.9 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 56.72
Price Came Up Big in Riverton Parke's 39-32 Win
Kyle Price was instrumental in extending Riverton Parke's winning streak to three on Friday. Price was unstoppable, rushing for 193 yards and three touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up two sacks and making six total tackles.
Price might have his next game, a home matchup with Parke Heritage, circled on his calendar. Last Friday (the last time Price saw the Wolves), he rushed for 245 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.6 yards per carry.

Andrew Botner Dazzles in North Vermillion Win
Andrew Botner's big game helped extend North Vermillion's winning streak to five on Friday. Seeger had no answer to Botner as he rushed for 136 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.6 yards per carry, and also picked up 70 receiving yards. Botner didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made seven total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
Botner is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against North Central on Friday. Botner rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also picked up 40 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Thunderbirds duked it out back in August.

North Vermillion Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Matthew Dawson
Matthew Dawson's big game helped extend North Vermillion's winning streak to five on Friday. Dawson was unstoppable, throwing for 225 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 85 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
It'll be Battle of the Birds when Falcons challenges North Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Dawson took on the Thunderbirds, he rushed for 75 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 88 yards and a touchdown while completing 87.5% of his passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Moore Made His Presence Known in Covington's 39-32 Loss
Rounding off our Top Five is Cian Moore of Covington. Moore rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.4 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 95-yard run.
Moore might have his next game, a home matchup with Attica, circled on his calendar. Moore rushed for 189 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 carries the last time he and the Red Ramblers duked it out last Friday.
