(St. Leon, Ind.) – East Central senior running back Josh Ringer is up for a statewide award after a record-tying performance last Friday.

Eight student-athletes from across Indiana have been nominated for the MaxPreps Indiana High School Athlete of the Week.

Ringer earned his nomination by scoring six touchdowns in a 42-7 win over Lawrenceburg, which tied his previous school record for points in a game (36) that he set in 2022 against South Dearborn.

The Miami (Oh.) commit carried the ball 12 times for 160 yards and five touchdowns. He also caught a 29-yard touchdown pass from Cole Burton.

Ringer also scored on a magnificent 53-yard TD run on East Central’s first play of the game, but the score was negated by a penalty flag.  

Weekly finalists are released on MaxPreps every Tuesday and voting is conducted in a special poll. Voting ceases at noon on Mondays. The winners are announced the next day along with the next week's nominees.

His next chance to run towards the end zone comes Friday when East Central hosts Harrison for the Battle of I-74. Eagle Country 99.3 will have full coverage starting at 7:10 p.m.
