Central Connecticut - Tier 4 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!
David Calendrillo Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Northwest Catholic got the W thanks in part to David Calendrillo playing the best football he has all season. Calendrillo picked up 0.5 sacks, forced a fumble, and made 17 total tackles (5.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Calendrillo might have his next game, a home matchup with Tolland, circled on his calendar. Calendrillo picked up a sack and made 16 total tackles the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.

Marlon Britton Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Bloomfield was led to victory by Marlon Britton, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Britton rushed for 142 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.5 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (100.8). The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Bloomfield pushed their record up to 4-2 with the win, which was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season. Britton and Bloomfield will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Lewis Mills at 6:30 p.m. on November 1st.
