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!
Caleb Solis Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Thursday, Clovis East got the W thanks in part to Caleb Solis playing the best football he has all season. Solis wasn't messing around, picking up 3.5 sacks, forcing a fumble, and making seven total tackles (4.0 for loss). The match was his third straight with seven or more total tackles dating back to last season.
The win for Clovis East keeps them at an undefeated 7-0. Solis and Clovis East will venture away from home to face off against Clovis at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Central was sadly handed a defeat on Thursday, but Brandon Smith did his best to prevent it. Smith was unstoppable, rushing for 101 yards and two touchdowns. Central is undefeated when Smith posts 80 or more rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
For the year, Smith has averaged 25 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 42.71 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 97.71 rushing yards.

Lindsey Graves Dazzles in Clovis East Win
Clovis East picked up their seventh consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Lindsey Graves. Central had no answer to Graves as he rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry.
Central's probably not too fond of Graves given he always seems to get the better of them. When Graves last faced the Grizzlies back in October of 2023, he rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 59 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 30.60
Ross Cinfel was a major factor in Clovis North's victory over Clovis on Friday. Nobody could stop Cinfel as he picked up 2.5 sacks and made ten total tackles (4.0 for loss).
For the year, Cinfel has averaged 7.3 total tackles per game and for the season has 5 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 3.71 total tackles per game.

Mckay Madsen Makes It Two for Clovis North
