Tri-River 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!
Tyus Miller Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Clovis East got the W thanks in part to Tyus Miller playing the best football he has all season. Miller wasn't messing around, throwing for 240 yards and three touchdowns while completing 84.2% of his passes, and also rushing for 121 yards on only eight carries. The game was his fourth straight with three or more passing touchdowns dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Miller could be in store for another big game when he takes on Central on Friday. Miller threw for 441 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 12.6 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 100 yards on only 12 carries the last time he and the Grizzlies duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 50.10
Central was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Brandon Smith did his best to prevent it. Despite the defeat, Smith was still balling out as he rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, and also picked up 53 receiving yards.
The loss snapped Central's losing streak at five games and leaves them with a 5-1 record. Smith and Central will head out to challenge Clovis East at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Gamescore: 40.60
Jackson Cinfel Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Jackson Cinfel put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in November of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 169 yards and two touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (102.6).
For the season, Cinfel has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 102.6 rushing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 6.8 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 14.6 receiving yards.
Gamescore: 36.68
Jack Nelson Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles
On Friday, Clovis East got the W thanks in part to Jack Nelson playing the best football he has all season. Nelson wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks and making eight total tackles (5.0 for loss). The contest was his fourth straight with five or more total tackles.
For the year, Nelson has averaged 6 total tackles per game and for the season has 5 sacks.

Rose Came Up Big in Clovis' 37-10 Win
Clovis picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Deagan Rose. Rose was unstoppable, throwing for 267 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
Buchanan had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Rose it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Rose saw the Bears), he threw for 217 yards and two touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes, and also rushed for 66 yards.
