C2 District 6 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!
Trace Buechle Goes Supernova in Valentine Victory
Starting off the list is Valentine's Trace Buechle, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Buechle threw for 166 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 62 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win (which was Valentine's fourth in a row) raised their record to 4-2. Buechle and Valentine will venture away from home to face off against Amherst at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Hill Made His Presence Known in Hershey's 25-24 Defeat
While Hershey might've come up empty on Friday, Rhodee Hill wasn't going down without a fight. Hill was unstoppable, making 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
If the past is any indication, Hill could be in store for another big game when he takes on Gordon-Rushville on Friday. Hill picked up 0.5 sacks and made 15 total tackles (2.0 for loss) the last time he and the Mustangs duked it out back in October of 2023.

Adriane Garza's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Mitchell over Valentine
Mitchell had to settle for second on Friday, but Adriane Garza sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the defeat, Garza was still balling out as he rushed for 216 yards and three touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making two total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Mitchell dropped their record down to 2-4 with the loss, which was their third straight on the road. Garza and Mitchell will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Amherst on October 18th.

Cole Murdock Makes It Two for Hershey
The second Hershey player making an appearance here is Cole Murdock, and for good reason. He made ten total tackles.
For the season, Murdock has averaged 7 total tackles per game and for the season has 2 interceptions. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to four.
Gamescore: 39.43
Landon Kennicutt Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Hershey had to settle for second even though Landon Kennicutt put up the best numbers he has all season. Kennicutt made 14 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
This year, Kennicutt has averaged 8.7 total tackles per game.
