Northern Lakes - Buckeye 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!
Grant Kinnee Delivers Electric Performance Vs Springfield
Anthony Wayne picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Grant Kinnee. Nobody could stop Kinnee as he threw for 94 yards and three touchdowns while completing 87.5% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Kinnee must have Springfield'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 Kinnee saw the Blue Devils), he rushed for 169 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 133 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.
