1A East (8 Man) 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!
Parker Filleman Delivers Best Performance of Season
Lincoln Prep was led to victory by Parker Filleman, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Filleman threw for 227 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.4 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 72-yard run.
Unfortunately for Duncan, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Filleman. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Filleman saw the Wildkats), he threw for 348 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 16.6 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 61 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries.

Tyler Garner and Co. Win 21st in a Row
Tyler Garner was instrumental in extending Hayden's winning streak to 21 on Friday. Garner was unstoppable, rushing for 110 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 100 rushing yards.
For the year, Garner has averaged 15.9 receiving yards per game.

Kino Lorona's Big Game Leads Hayden over Ray
Kino Lorona's big game helped extend Hayden's winning streak to 21 on Friday. Lorona turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 67 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last five games he's played.
For the season, Lorona has averaged 23.8 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had 12 rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 20.

Big Game from Dilley As Lincoln Prep Won 56-20
Another Lincoln Prep player making an appearance on this list is Finn Dilley. He rushed for 54 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 81 receiving yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made four total tackles (2.5 for loss).
Duncan had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Dilley it was a similar story. Dilley rushed for 183 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also picked up 121 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Wildkats duked it out back in October of 2023.
