Best performances from the world of preps for week of Sept. 17-23

Larry Baker-Bruce III

Jackson | Football

The Timberwolves running back/quarterback rushed for 137 yards on 16 carries and scored two touchdowns and the game-winning two-point conversion in the Timberwolves’ 36-34 win over the Warriors.

Counting the votes: Eds. note: A new feature of our football player of the week will show how the fans and Herald staffers voted. The fans chose Sultan running back Bryce MacDicken after his strong performance in a win over Granite Falls. Herald writers Aaron Lommers, David Krueger and Jon Saperstein voted for Austin Joyner, Justin Peterson and Baker-Bruce, respectively, leaving it to Herald prep editor to break the tie. The fact Baker-Bruce III was key in his team’s come-from-behind win locked up the victory, said Swaney.
