2A-2 Region I District 1 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Bryce Braden Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Stratford's Bryce Braden, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Braden made 15 total tackles (3.0 for loss). He also rushed for 113 rushing yards, which is notable because Stratford is 2-1 when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Stratford's defeat dropped their record down to 3-3. Braden and Stratford will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Bovina at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
Gamescore: 34.07
Bovina had to settle for second on Friday, but Angel Lara sure wasn't going down easily. Farwell had no answer to Lara as he rushed for 40 yards, and also picked up 33 receiving yards.
For the season, Lara has averaged 79.3 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 28.77
Luis Avila Makes It Two for Bovina
Another Bovina player making an appearance on this list is Luis Avila. He rushed for 32 yards.
On the season, Avila has averaged 54.8 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 11 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 25.70
A Constellation of Stars for Stratford
Another Stratford player making an appearance on this list is Julio Valdez. He rushed for 18 yards and a touchdown.
Unfortunately for Gruver, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Valdez. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Valdez saw the Greyhounds), he picked up 153 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 31 yards and two touchdowns.
