Central Connecticut - Tier 4 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Big Game from Calendrillo As Northwest Catholic Fell 34-21
Starting off the list is Northwest Catholic's David Calendrillo, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Calendrillo picked up a sack and made 17 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
If the past is any indication, Calendrillo could be in store for another big game when he takes on Tolland on Saturday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Calendrillo saw the Eagles), he picked up a sack and made 16 total tackles.

Destin Wood Turns in Season-Best Performance
Destin Wood produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Tolland to the win on Saturday. Wood rushed for 210 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.8 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
For the season, Wood has run in 10 touchdowns while averaging 132.2 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he had five rushing touchdowns.

Marlon Britton Delivers Electric Effort Vs Northwest Catholic
Marlon Britton posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Saturday. He rushed for 148 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win (which was Bloomfield's third in a row) raised their record to 5-2. Britton will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Lewis Mills on Friday.

Joey Montalvo Has Career-Day on Friday
Joey Montalvo posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 79 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 135 receiving yards. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 60 yards.
This year, Montalvo has averaged 116.5 receiving yards per game.

Zakyi Kimber Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Saturday, Bloomfield got the W thanks in part to Zakyi Kimber playing the best football he has all season. Kimber rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.9 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Kimber and Bloomfield will be playing at home against Lewis Mills at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The Warhawks got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Spartans, probably because Kimber had a solid game then too: he rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
