2A Black 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 Abram Castaneda Leads Miami over Alchesay
Miami was led to victory by Abram Castaneda, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Castaneda rushed for 142 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, and also threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.2 yards per attempt, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Castaneda must have Alchesay's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Castaneda last faced the Falcons back in September of 2023, he threw for 208 yards and two touchdowns while completing 90% of his passes, and also rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown.
