Pioneer 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 Goodwin Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Prairie View got the W thanks in part to Josh Goodwin playing the best football he has all season. Goodwin rushed for 143 yards and six touchdowns on only 15 carries. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.1 rushing touchdowns per game. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Goodwin and Prairie View have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Iola at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Goodwin took on the Mustangs, he rushed for 143 yards and six touchdowns on only 15 carries. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance?

Parker Schwarz's Big Game Leads Prairie View over Iola
Parker Schwarz continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 11th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 107 rushing yards. He rushed for 200 yards on only 12 carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made five total tackles.
Schwarz must have Iola'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 Schwarz saw the Mustangs), he rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also picked up 31 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Wellsville Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Armond Graves
Armond Graves's big game helped extend Wellsville's winning streak to eight on Friday. Graves was dynamite, rushing for 114 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Wellsville pushed their record up to 8-0 with the victory, which was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season. Graves and Wellsville will square off against Baldwin at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Wyatt Attebery Leads Prairie View over Iola
Prairie View was led to victory by Wyatt Attebery, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Attebery rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
Attebery and Prairie View have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Iola at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Buffalos got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Mustangs, probably because Attebery had a solid game then too: he rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 25.83
Wellsville picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Matt Newhouse. Newhouse produced his best game of the campaign : he picked up 75 receiving yards and a touchdown. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 55 yards.
For the season, Newhouse has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 54 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 9.43 receiving yards per game.
