Northern Lakes - Buckeye 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!
Josh Takats Turns in Season-Best Effort
Josh Takats produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Perrysburg to the win on Friday. Takats rushed for 94 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 105 yards and a touchdown on perfect 9-for-9 passing. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August.
Springfield's probably not too fond of Takats given he always seems to get the better of them. When Takats last faced the Blue Devils back in October of 2023, he threw for 241 yards and four touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.

Grant Kinnee Delivers Electric Effort Vs Northview
Grant Kinnee was instrumental in extending Anthony Wayne's winning streak to nine on Friday. Northview had no answer to Kinnee as he rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 72 yards and two touchdowns.
Kinnee is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Perrysburg on Friday. Kinnee rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 124 yards and a touchdown on only 11 passes the last time he and the Yellow Jackets duked it out back in October of 2023.
