Eastern Indiana - Small 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!
Quinn Barada Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Quinn Barada produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Rushville to the win on Friday. Barada rushed for 233 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (113.6). Those 233 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
If the past is any indication, Barada could be in store for another big game when he takes on Franklin County on Friday. Back in September (the last time Barada saw the Wildcats), he rushed for 152 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries.

Mason Wewe and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Franklin County picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Mason Wewe. Wewe turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 142 yards and a touchdown.
This season, Wewe has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 80 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 16.67 rushing yards per game.

Gillman Made His Presence Known in Franklin County's 29-22 Victory
Another Franklin County player making an appearance on this list is Quinn Gillman. He rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 68 yards and a touchdown.
A feisty cat fight will be fought when Wildcats takes on Rushville at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Gillman took on the Lions, he threw for 243 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 93 yards on only 13 carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 39.73
Sam Pavey Goes Supernova in Rushville Win
The second Rushville player making an appearance here is Sam Pavey, and for good reason. He rushed for 84 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries.
A feisty cat fight will be fought when Lions takes on Franklin County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Lions got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Wildcats, probably because Pavey had a solid game then too: he rushed for 49 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 39.15
Gage Pohlman Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Batesville got the W thanks in part to Gage Pohlman playing the best football he has all season. Pohlman rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also picked up 30 receiving yards.
Unfortunately for Connersville, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Pohlman. Pohlman rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also caught a touchdown the last time he and the Spartans duked it out back in October of 2023.
