Noah Dodson Sets Career High in Rushing Yards

Price Came Up Big in Riverton Parke's 39-32 Victory
Kyle Price's big game helped extend 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 didn't just play on offense: he also picked up two sacks and made six total tackles.
Price is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Parke Heritage on Friday. Price rushed for 245 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.6 yards per carry the last time he and the Wolves duked it out last Friday.

North Vermillion Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Andrew Botner
North Vermillion picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Andrew Botner. 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 put in work on the defensive side of the ball, 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
North Vermillion picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Matthew Dawson. 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.
For the year, Dawson has thrown 13 touchdowns while averaging 126.2 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after nine games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 11.

Cian Moore Goes Supernova in Covington Defeat
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.
Moore might have his next game, a home matchup with Attica, circled on his calendar. When Moore last faced the Red Ramblers last Friday, he rushed for 189 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 carries.
