D2 District 8 (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Brady Ahlemeyer Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Cambridge had to settle for second even though Brady Ahlemeyer put up the best numbers he has all season. Ahlemeyer picked up 118 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 42 yards. He is becoming a predictor of Cambridge's success: when he posts at least 80 receiving yards the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
On the year, Ahlemeyer has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 29.9 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 52.95
Hayden Muirhead Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Hayden Muirhead was instrumental in extending Overton's winning streak to seven on Friday. Muirhead made a major impact, rushing for 141 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (105).
For the season, Muirhead has averaged 112.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had nine rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 14.
Gamescore: 46.30
Cauy Meyer and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Cauy Meyer was instrumental in extending Loomis's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Meyer rushed for 38 yards and a touchdown. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
Loomis' victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Meyer will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Overton on Friday.

Loomis Gets a Boost from Schukar in 44-6 Victory
Jace Schukar's big game helped extend Loomis's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Schukar was unstoppable, rushing for 100 yards and two touchdowns, while also picking up 45 receiving yards. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 100 rushing yards dating back to last season.
On the season, Schukar has averaged 54.3 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had four rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 21.
