Central Indiana 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!
Gast Posts Huge Game in 42-28 Victory
Starting off the list is Alexandria-Monroe's Brady Gast, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Gast threw for 266 yards and three touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making five total tackles.
This season, Gast has thrown 21 touchdowns while averaging 219.9 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had 11 passing touchdowns.

Dylan Archer's Big Game Leads Oak Hill over Blackford
Dylan Archer continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 100 rushing yards. He rushed for 100 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 36 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Archer must have Blackford'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 Archer saw the Bruins), he rushed for 163 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.4 yards per carry.

Bryson Eckler Makes It Two for Alexandria-Monroe
Another Alexandria-Monroe player making an appearance on this list is Bryson Eckler. He picked up 144 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 58 yards.
On the year, Eckler has caught 9 touchdowns while averaging 97.6 receiving yards per game.

Nate Luzadder Dazzles in Frankton Defeat
Frankton had to settle for second on Friday, but Nate Luzadder sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the loss, Luzadder was still balling out as he rushed for 165 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.9 yards per carry. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 58 yards.
Luzadder might have his next game, a road matchup with Blackford, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Luzadder saw the Bruins), he rushed for 168 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.4 yards per carry.

Big Game from Wyrick As Oak Hill Won 52-6
The second Oak Hill player making an appearance here is Lance Wyrick, and for good reason. He rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 104 rushing yards dating back to last season.
This season, Wyrick has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 95.3 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown.
