Kaleb Willoughby Turns in Season-Best Effort
Kaleb Willoughby produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Byers to the win on Friday. 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 also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making 13 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
The win for Byers keeps them at an undefeated 6-0. Willoughby's next matchup is against Elbert on Saturday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Tj Eurich Delivers Electric Effort Vs Byers

Eurich has become a key player for Simla: the team is undefeated when he posts at least 100 rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
For the season, Eurich has averaged 44.5 receiving yards per game.

Trechter Posts Huge Game in 24-20 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Michael Trechter stepped things up a notch to give St. Mary the 'W'. Nobody could stop Trechter as he threw for 196 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 80 yards.
