Top performer candidates

Aidan Bouman, Buffalo. Judging by last year’s 80-70 game between Buffalo and Elk River, it was no surprise that this year’s rematch would also be high scoring. Though the Bison lost to the Elks again, this time 46-37, Bouman, a senior quarterback, nearly eclipsed 400 yards in the game. Bouman had 385 passing yards and threw two touchdowns — including two of more than 50 yards in the third quarter. Bouman also successfully connected with receivers on three two-point conversions.
