Hanley Came Up Big in Peoria Notre Dame's 62-28 Defeat

Lawson Alwan Goes Supernova in Peoria Notre Dame Defeat
Keeping Hanley company is Lawson Alwan, a fellow Peoria Notre Dame player. He rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also picked up 61 receiving yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
On the year, Alwan has averaged 15.4 receiving yards per game.

Big Game from Lanier As Bloomington Fell 44-28
While Bloomington might've come up empty on Friday, Rob Lanier wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the defeat, Lanier was still balling out as he rushed for 94 yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Lanier might just drop another big game when he faces off against Centennial on Friday. When Lanier last faced the Chargers back in September of 2023, he rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries.

A Season-Best Performance from Keyontae Hamilton Leads Bloomington over Peoria
Bloomington came up short on Friday despite Keyontae Hamilton delivering his best game to date. Hamilton picked up 107 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Hamilton and Bloomington will challenge Centennial at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Purple Raiders got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Chargers, probably because Hamilton had a solid game then too: he picked up 62 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 36 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

On the year, Bye has averaged 3.6 total tackles per game.
