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!
Jordan Rechel Delivers Best Performance of Season
Fairview was led to victory by Jordan Rechel, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Rechel rushed for 93 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 119 receiving yards and a touchdown. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 68 yards.
Fort Collins had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Rechel it was a similar story. When Rechel last faced the Lambkins back in October of 2023, he picked up 153 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Fairview Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Toray Davis
Toray Davis's big game helped extend Fairview's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Davis turned in nothing short of a gem, making five total tackles. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 57 yards.
On the year, Davis has averaged 3.1 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one receiving touchdown. This year he is already up to seven.
