2A East Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Wyatt Walker Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Thursday, Kent Denver got the W thanks in part to Wyatt Walker playing the best football he has all season. Walker rushed for 286 yards while picking up 12.4 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (121). Those 286 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Englewood's probably not too fond of Walker given he always seems to get the better of them. Walker rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 45 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Pirates duked it out back in October of 2023.

Deon Robinson Goes Supernova in Englewood Defeat

This year, Robinson has run in 14 touchdowns while averaging 134 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he had three rushing touchdowns.

Logan Mael Makes It Two for Englewood
Keeping Robinson company is Logan Mael, a fellow Englewood player. He picked up 61 receiving yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Mael has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 27.7 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 0.67 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 50.5 rushing yards.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Joaquin Aviles stepped things up a notch to give Elizabeth the 'W'. Aviles turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 109 yards and three touchdowns on only six passes, while also rushing for 72 yards. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 60 yards.
Elizabeth's win was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-2. Aviles and Elizabeth will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Englewood at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
