A-8 Black Forest (8 Man) 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!
Tj Eurich Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Simla got the W thanks in part to Tj Eurich playing the best football he has all season. Eurich rushed for 114 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 137 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.2 rushing touchdowns per game. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 84 yards.
Simla's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-2. Eurich and Simla will welcome Elbert at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Gamescore: 79.83
Willoughby Came Up Big in Byers' 58-8 Win
Kaleb Willoughby was instrumental in extending Byers's winning streak to seven on Saturday. Willoughby was dynamite, rushing for 143 yards and two touchdowns.
Byers pushed their record up to 7-0 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Willoughby and Byers will be playing in front of their home fans against Calhan at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Caston Cox Makes It Two for Simla
Another Simla player making an appearance on this list is Caston Cox. He threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns on perfect 7-for-7 passing.
If history really does repeat itself, Cox might just drop another big game when he faces off against Elbert on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Cox saw the Bulldogs), he threw for 259 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 passes, and also punched in a rushing score.
