Drayvn Roberts Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Drayvn Roberts produced his most outstanding game to date while leading East Hartford to the win on Friday. Roberts rushed for 130 yards and four touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 190 yards and three touchdowns on only nine passes. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.1 rushing touchdowns per game. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 112 rushing yards.
For the year, Roberts has thrown 15 touchdowns while averaging 168.6 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 87.27
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Elias Rodriguez stepped things up a notch to give New Britain the 'W'. Hartford Public had no answer to Rodriguez as he made eight total tackles (2.0 for loss).
On the season, Rodriguez has averaged 8.5 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 54.30
Allen Made His Presence Known in New Britain's 48-14 Victory
Another New Britain player making an appearance on this list is Jayden Allen. He rushed for 175 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries.
Unfortunately for Hartford Public, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Allen. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Allen saw the Owls), he rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries.
Gamescore: 47.75
Yaxier (Jack) Rivera Delivers Electric Performance Vs Manchester
The second East Hartford player making an appearance here is Yaxier (Jack) Rivera, and for good reason. He picked up three sacks and made ten total tackles. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 100 rushing yards.
Rivera must have Manchester's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Rivera picked up two sacks and made ten total tackles the last time he and the Red Hawks duked it out back in November of 2023.
Gamescore: 46.20
A Season-Best Effort from Daniel Estremera Leads East Hartford over Manchester

The match was his eighth straight with six or more total tackles. He has become a key player for East Hartford: the team is undefeated when he posts at least one sack, but 1-6 otherwise.
On the season, Estremera has averaged 8.6 total tackles per game and for the season has 9 sacks.
