Trinity (KY) held onto its No. 1 ranking with a perfect 3-0 record, while an Iowa commit delivered a standout performance in Indiana that caught the attention of Hawkeye fans.
Iowa Commit Keyon Thomas Dominates for Warren Central
Warren Central (Indianapolis, IN) improved to 3-0 with a thrilling 45-42 victory over North Central in a game that ended after midnight due to extreme heat. Iowa commit running back Keyon Thomas was the star, rushing for 294 yards and three touchdowns in the win.
