Greater South Shore - 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!
Silver Came Up Big in River Forest's 55-16 Victory
Starting off the list is River Forest's Ayden Silver, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Silver threw for 217 yards and four touchdowns while completing 90% of his passes, and also rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. His passing game has become a key predictor of River Forest's success: the team is 3-1 when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 2-3 otherwise.
River Forest's win ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 5-4. Silver and River Forest will welcome Knox at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Boone Grove Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Mark Rowland
Boone Grove picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Mark Rowland. Rowland turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 47 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 167 yards and two touchdowns while completing 90.9% of his passes.
Hammond Bishop Noll had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Rowland it was a similar story. When Rowland last faced the Warriors back in October of 2023, he threw for 202 yards and three touchdowns on only 19 passes, and also rushed for 54 yards and two touchdowns.
