A-8 Northwest (8 Man) 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Peyton Johnson Leads Hayden over Soroco
On Friday, Hayden got the W thanks in part to Peyton Johnson playing the best football he has all season. Johnson rushed for 158 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 29 yards and a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 76-yard run.
For the year, Johnson has thrown 3 touchdowns while averaging 48 passing yards per game.

Blake Terryberry Dazzles in West Grand Win
Blake Terryberry's big game helped extend West Grand's winning streak to eight on Friday. Terryberry was unstoppable, rushing for 65 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, while also throwing for 144 yards and three touchdowns.
Terryberry must have Vail Christian's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Terryberry last faced the Saints back in October of 2023, he rushed for 91 yards and four touchdowns, and also threw for 161 yards and two touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes.

West Grand Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Joe Probst
Joe Probst was instrumental in extending West Grand's winning streak to eight on Friday. Vail Christian had no answer to Probst as he picked up 157 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 31 yards.
Probst is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Hayden on Friday. When Probst last faced the Tigers back in October of 2023, he picked up 181 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

Danek Demorat Turns in Season-Best Effort
Hayden was led to victory by Danek Demorat, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Demorat rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
For the season, Demorat has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 23.9 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 0.29 rushing yards per game.

Jackson Steinle and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
West Grand picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jackson Steinle. Steinle was dynamite, picking up 42 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Steinle might have his next game, a home matchup with Hayden, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Steinle saw the Tigers), he picked up 151 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
