2A-2 Region II District 7 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!
Branson Beal Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Albany got the W thanks in part to Branson Beal playing the best football he has all season. Beal rushed for 144 yards and five touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also picked up 46 receiving yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory was the fifth in a row for Albany, bringing their record for this year to 5-2. Beal's next match is against Cross Plains on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
Gamescore: 74.08
Jaylen Torres was a major factor in Miles's victory over Cross Plains on Friday. Torres was unstoppable, rushing for 111 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 69 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the season, Torres has run in those 3 touchdowns while averaging 37 rushing yards per game.

Breylon Billington Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Breylon Billington posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He made six total tackles (2.0 for loss). He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 61 yards.
This year, Billington has averaged 4.9 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 3.71 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 55.57 rushing yards.

Cooper Ellison's Big Game Leads Miles over Cross Plains
The second Miles player making an appearance here is Cooper Ellison, and for good reason. He picked up 121 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Cross Plains's probably not too fond of Ellison given he always seems to get the better of them. When Ellison last faced the Buffaloes back in November of 2023, he picked up 71 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Gamescore: 29.43
A Season-Best Performance from Chip Chambers Leads Albany over Winters
Chip Chambers produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Albany to the win on Friday. Chambers threw for 234 yards and three touchdowns on only 16 passes.
Chambers and Albany will host Cross Plains at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Chambers took on the Buffaloes, he threw for 143 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
