Will Tarallo Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Basalt's Will Tarallo, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tarallo rushed for 194 yards and three touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (111.5). The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Tarallo might have his next game, a road matchup with Coal Ridge, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Tarallo saw the Titans), he rushed for 172 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.6 yards per carry.
