<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we inch closer to November and the oncoming flurries and temperature drop characteristic of Midwest winters, playoffs are already underway depending on where you live and the short-lived 2022 regular season is nearing its conclusion. That means this <em>PrepRedzone </em>Midwest featured series days are numbered, so make sure you thoroughly this weekend-of-10/14 edition of our Midwest Stat-Monsters feature. Through Twitter, personal DMs, Hudl, and stats from the likes of <em>Maxpreps </em>and <em>MNFootballHub</em>, <em>PrepRedzone</em> had identified our Top-60 individual performances from 10 states of America's Heartland. Highlighted by a ton of broken records, including single-season sack, rushing, and TD records, career milestones such as 5k yards, 100 catches, and single-game INT, rushing, and receptions marks, we have some doozies for you today. We also have eye-popping stat lines on both sides of the ball, all four grades of high school represented, and big school to small school athletes worthy of all the college attention they are receiving.
