C1 District 6 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!
Shoemaker Posts Huge Game in 29-26 Loss
Starting off the list is Cozad's Noah Shoemaker, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Shoemaker rushed for 143 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry, and also threw for 186 yards on 18 of 28 attempts. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles and defending a pass.
With the loss, Cozad broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 5-2. Shoemaker and Cozad will venture away from home to face off against Holdrege at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 54.20
Minden found a leader in Cade Harsin as the squad took down Broken Bow on Friday. Harsin was dynamite, picking up 80 receiving yards and a touchdown. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 51 yards.
For the season, Harsin has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 18.6 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 24.67
Orrin Kuehn Makes It Two for Minden
Another Minden player making an appearance on this list is Orrin Kuehn. He rushed for 85 yards.
Kuehn and Minden will take on Gothenburg at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Whippets had to take a loss when they last met the Swedes, but Kuehn had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 110 yards on only 14 carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Myles Ide Makes It Two for Cozad
The second Cozad player making an appearance here is Myles Ide, and for good reason. He picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made five total tackles.
On the year, Ide has averaged 3.6 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.86 total tackles per game.
