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 Delivers Best Performance of Season
Camp Point Central was led to victory by Elijah Genenbacher, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Genenbacher rushed for 102 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 58 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 63 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Genenbacher is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Carrollton on Saturday. 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 Goes Supernova in Routt Catholic/Lutheran Defeat
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.
Brown County's probably not too fond of Creviston given he always seems to get the better of them. 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

This year, Niekamp has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 47 rushing yards per game.

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