A-8 Six County (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Friday through Monday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Walsenburg Gets a Boost from Aldretti in 46-0 Win
Starting off the list is Walsenburg's Giovanni Aldretti, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Aldretti rushed for 287 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 15.9 yards per carry. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 65 yards.
For the season, Aldretti has averaged 17.3 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 68.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 200.71 rushing yards.

Anthony Sandoval Goes Supernova in Hoehne Victory
Anthony Sandoval's big game helped extend Hoehne's winning streak to three on Friday. Sandoval was dynamite, rushing for 147 yards and three touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 147 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Sandoval is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Custer County on Saturday. Sandoval rushed for 166 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries the last time he and the Bobcats duked it out back in October of 2023.

Taylor Torres Makes It Two for Walsenburg
Another Walsenburg player making an appearance on this list is Taylor Torres. He picked up 54 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also made 20 total tackles and defended a pass.
For the year, Torres has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 72.3 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 19.86 rushing yards per game.

Jake Magninat Delivers Best Effort of Season
Jake Magninat produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Hoehne to the win on Friday. Magninat rushed for 60 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 119 yards while completing 75% of his passes.
Magninat and Hoehne will challenge Custer County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Farmers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Bobcats, probably because Magninat had a solid game then too: he threw for 132 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also punched in a rushing score. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

A Season-Best Performance from Bryce Froman Leads Fowler over Hoehne
On Friday, Fowler had to settle for second even though Bryce Froman put up the best numbers he has all season. Froman picked up 78 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Fowler dropped their record down to 3-4 with the loss, which was their third straight on the road. Froman and Fowler will welcome Walsenburg at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
