Hoosier Heritage 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!
Cooper Hinton Delivers Electric Performance Vs New Castle
Starting off the list is Greenfield-Central's Cooper Hinton, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hinton made 16 total tackles (1.0 for loss). The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Hinton must have New Castle's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Hinton picked up a sack, made seven total tackles (3.0 for loss), and defended two passes the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in October of 2023.

Big Game from Ranes As New Palestine Won 38-0
Josh Ranes's big game helped extend New Palestine's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Ranes as he rushed for 235 yards while picking up 12.4 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.
Ranes is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Mt. Vernon on Friday. Back in September (the last time Ranes saw the Marauders), he rushed for 119 yards and four touchdowns on only 13 carries.

Jacob Davis and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Jacob Davis's big game helped extend New Palestine's winning streak to seven on Friday. Davis was unstoppable, throwing for 138 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 44 yards and two touchdowns.
This season, Davis has thrown 17 touchdowns (and and only 1 picks) while averaging 152.9 passing yards per game.

Keaton Jones Goes Supernova in Pendleton Heights Win
Keaton Jones was a major factor in Pendleton Heights's win over Shelbyville on Friday. Jones was dynamite, rushing for 124 yards and four touchdowns.
If history really does repeat itself, Jones might just drop another big game when he faces off against New Castle on Friday. When Jones last faced the Trojans back in September, he rushed for 225 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 37.68
Cade Logston Makes Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Cade Logston of New Castle. Logston made six total tackles and defended a pass. He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 59 yards.
New Castle is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-5. Logston will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Pendleton Heights on Friday.
