Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Evan Saevre
On Friday, Columbus North got the W thanks in part to Evan Saevre playing the best football he has all season. Saevre wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks and making 15 total tackles (8.0 for loss). The match was his eighth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
The victory (which was Columbus North's third in a row) raised their record to 7-1. Saevre and Columbus North are taking a road trip to square off against Terre Haute South Vigo on Friday.

Samuel Weihert Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Terre Haute North Vigo had to settle for second even though Samuel Weihert put up the best numbers he has all season. Weihert picked up 82 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Terre Haute North Vigo has been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six games, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-6 record this season. Weihert and Terre Haute North Vigo will stay at home for another week and welcome Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Gino Prescott Makes It Two for Columbus North

His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 119 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Prescott might have his next game, a home matchup with Terre Haute South Vigo, circled on his calendar. Prescott rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 65 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Braves duked it out back in October of 2023.
