2A South East Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Chris Barela Has Career Rushing Day
Starting off the list is La Junta's Chris Barela, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Barela rushed for 195 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 82-yard run.
The victory snapped La Junta's losing streak at four games and leaves them with a 3-4 record. Barela and La Junta will challenge Florence at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Woodland Park Gets a Boost from Joseph Schoenberger in 42-6 Victory
Marqus Joseph Schoenberger was instrumental in extending Woodland Park's winning streak to seven on Friday. Joseph Schoenberger was dynamite, rushing for 94 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, while also throwing for 27 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making three total tackles and defending a pass.
Joseph Schoenberger will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Manitou Springs on Friday. The Panthers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Mustangs, probably because Joseph Schoenberger had a solid game then too: he threw for 265 yards and three touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Moore Posts Huge Game in 28-14 Defeat
Manitou Springs was sadly handed a defeat on Thursday, but Logan Moore did his best to prevent it. Nobody could stop Moore as he rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns.
Moore must have Lamar's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Moore saw the Thunder), he rushed for 113 yards on only 15 carries, and also picked up 36 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Trey Reed's Big Game Leads Woodland Park over Florence
Trey Reed was instrumental in extending Woodland Park's winning streak to seven on Friday. Florence had no answer to Reed as he rushed for 153 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries. Those 153 rushing yards gave Reed a new career-high.
On the season, Reed has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 79.7 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 11.14 rushing yards per game.

Woodland Park Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Parker Shreeve
Woodland Park picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Parker Shreeve. Florence had no answer to Shreeve as he picked up two sacks and made nine total tackles.
On the year, Shreeve has averaged 7.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 5 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had four receiving touchdowns. This year he is already up to eight.
