Northeast 8 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!
Caiden Hinkle Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, DeKalb got the W thanks in part to Caiden Hinkle playing the best football he has all season. Hinkle rushed for 261 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 14.5 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (119.8). The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Hinkle must have Bellmont's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Hinkle saw the Braves), he rushed for 224 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries.
