Wabash River 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!
Noah Dodson Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Fountain Central's Noah Dodson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Dodson made 11 total tackles (1.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the season, Dodson has averaged 8.8 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 56.72
Price Came Up Big in Riverton Parke's 39-32 Victory
Kyle Price was instrumental in extending Riverton Parke's winning streak to three on Friday. Price did his part (and then some), rushing for 193 yards and three touchdowns for the 'W'. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up two sacks and making six total tackles.
Price is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Parke Heritage on Friday. Last Friday (the last time Price saw the Wolves), he rushed for 245 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.6 yards per carry.

Andrew Botner Delivers Electric Performance Vs Seeger
Andrew Botner was instrumental in extending North Vermillion's winning streak to five on Friday. Botner was unstoppable, rushing for 136 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.6 yards per carry, and also picking up 70 receiving yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making seven total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
If history really does repeat itself, Botner might just drop another big game when he faces off against North Central on Friday. Botner rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also picked up 40 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Thunderbirds duked it out back in August.
Gamescore: 47.75
Matthew Dawson and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Matthew Dawson's big game helped extend North Vermillion's winning streak to five on Friday. Seeger had no answer to Dawson as he threw for 225 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
It'll be Battle of the Birds when Falcons challenges North Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Falcons got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Thunderbirds, probably because Dawson had a solid game then too: he rushed for 75 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 88 yards and a touchdown while completing 87.5% of his passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Moore Made His Presence Known in Covington's 39-32 Loss
Rounding off our Top Five is Cian Moore of Covington. Moore rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.4 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 95-yard run.
If history really does repeat itself, Moore might just drop another big game when he faces off against Attica on Friday. Last Friday (the last time Moore saw the Red Ramblers), he rushed for 189 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 carries.
