2A-2 Region II District 7 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Branson Beal Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Albany got the W thanks in part to Branson Beal playing the best football he has all season. Beal rushed for 144 yards and five touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also picked up 46 receiving yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory was the fifth in a row for Albany, bringing their record for this year to 5-2. Beal will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Cross Plains on Friday.
Gamescore: 74.08
Jaylen Torres was a major factor in Miles's win over Cross Plains on Friday. Torres was dynamite, rushing for 111 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 69 yards.
For the year, Torres has run in those 3 touchdowns while averaging 37 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 48.20
Breylon Billington Has Career Rushing Day
Breylon Billington posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He made six total tackles (2.0 for loss). The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 61 yards.
For the season, Billington has averaged 4.9 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 3.71 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 55.57 rushing yards.

Cooper Ellison Dazzles in Miles Win
The second Miles player making an appearance here is Cooper Ellison, and for good reason. He picked up 121 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Ellison must have Cross Plains's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Ellison last faced the Buffaloes back in November of 2023, he picked up 71 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Gamescore: 29.43
A Season-Best Effort from Chip Chambers Leads Albany over Winters
On Friday, Albany got the W thanks in part to Chip Chambers playing the best football he has all season. Chambers threw for 234 yards and three touchdowns on only 16 passes.
Chambers and Albany will be playing in front of their home fans against Cross Plains at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Chambers took on the Buffaloes, he threw for 143 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
