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!
Will Daniel Dazzles in Basalt Win
Basalt picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Will Daniel. Nobody could stop Daniel as he rushed for 192 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making 12 total tackles and defending a pass.
Unfortunately for Coal Ridge, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Daniel. When Daniel last faced the Titans back in October of 2023, he rushed for 132 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries.

Andrew Palmaz Turns in Season-Best Performance
Aspen was led to victory by Andrew Palmaz, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Palmaz rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The victory was the third in a row for Aspen, bringing their record for this year to 4-2. Palmaz and Aspen will host Delta at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Mika Posts Huge Game in 53-6 Victory

Grayson Isenhart Turns in Another Game with at Least 13 Total Tackles
Grayson Isenhart continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 15th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 13 total tackles. He made 28 total tackles (1.5 for loss).

Will Tarallo Delivers Electric Performance Vs Coal Ridge
Basalt picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Will Tarallo. Tarallo was unstoppable, rushing for 148 yards and a touchdown.
Coal Ridge's probably not too fond of Tarallo given he always seems to get the better of them. When Tarallo last faced the Titans back in October of 2023, he rushed for 172 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.6 yards per carry.
