A-8 Black Forest (8 Man) 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!
Kaleb Willoughby Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Byers got the W thanks in part to Kaleb Willoughby playing the best football he has all season. Willoughby rushed for 266 yards and three touchdowns. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August of 2023. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made 13 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
The victory for Byers keeps them at an undefeated 6-0. Willoughby will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Elbert on Saturday.
Gamescore: 77.75
Simla Gets a Boost from Eurich in 36-16 Loss
Simla had to settle for second on Friday, but Tj Eurich sure wasn't going down easily. Eurich was dynamite, rushing for 125 yards and two touchdowns. He has become a key player for Simla: the team is undefeated when he posts at least 100 rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
On the year, Eurich has averaged 44.5 receiving yards per game.

Trechter Came Up Big in St. Mary's 24-20 Win

For the year, Trechter has thrown 10 touchdowns (and and only 2 pick) while averaging 183.4 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he had six passing touchdowns.
