4A North 1 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!
Gavin Ishmael's Big Game Leads Frederick over Poudre
Gavin Ishmael was instrumental in extending Frederick's winning streak to six on Thursday. Ishmael turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 326 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 13.6 yards per attempt, and also rushing for 49 yards and a touchdown.
Ishmael and Frederick will take on Monarch at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Golden Eagles had to take a loss when they last met the Coyotes, but Ishmael had little to do with the loss: he threw for 294 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Ryder Eastin Turns in Season-Best Effort
Loveland was led to victory by Ryder Eastin, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Eastin rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 175 yards and two touchdowns. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He is becoming a predictor of Loveland's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 0-5 when he doesn't).
Loveland moved to 2-6 with that win, which also ended their four-game losing streak. Eastin and Loveland will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Poudre at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.
