AA - Western Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Cole Graham Turns in Season-Best Performance
Cole Graham produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Capital to the win on Thursday. Graham rushed for 101 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
If history really does repeat itself, Graham might just drop another big game when he faces off against Butte on Thursday. Graham rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in October of 2023.

Presley Made His Presence Known in Glacier's 35-7 Victory
Glacier found a leader in Jackson Presley as the squad took down Big Sky on Thursday. Nobody could stop Presley as he threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per attempt, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Presley is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Sentinel on Friday. Presley threw for 311 yards and four touchdowns while completing 73.9% of his passes the last time he and the Spartans duked it out back in November of 2023.
Gamescore: 40.57
Trygve Braun and Co. Win Third in a Row
Trygve Braun was instrumental in extending Helena's winning streak to three on Thursday. Nobody could stop Braun as he rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 97 receiving yards.
The win got Helena back to even at 4-4. Their road trip will continue as they head out to face Big Sky at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 36.77
Kobe Dorcheus Dazzles in Glacier Win
The second Glacier player making an appearance here is Kobe Dorcheus, and for good reason. He rushed for 196 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.8 yards per carry.
Big Sky's probably not too fond of Dorcheus given he always seems to get the better of them. When Dorcheus last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he rushed for 93 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries.
