This year, Halsana has run in 15 touchdowns while averaging 114 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had one rushing touchdown.

A Season-Best Performance from Rich Lucero Jr. Leads Hamilton over Perry
Rich Lucero Jr. produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Hamilton to the win on Friday. Lucero Jr. threw for 273 yards and four touchdowns while completing 71.9% of his passes.
Lucero Jr. is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Casteel on Friday. When Lucero Jr. last faced the Colts back in October of 2023, he threw for 173 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 60 yards.
Gamescore: 37.60

Jacob Brown produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Hamilton to the win on Friday. Brown rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns.
Brown and Hamilton will face off against Casteel at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Brown will face off against Isaiah Linyear, the Colts' star running back. Will the match be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Mencl Came Up Big in Chandler's 42-21 Win
The second Chandler player making an appearance here is Will Mencl, and for good reason. He threw for 221 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
On the year, Mencl has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 142.6 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 25.73
Carter Ochoa Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Chandler got the W thanks in part to Carter Ochoa playing the best football he has all season. Ochoa picked up 101 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 50 yards.
Unfortunately for Casteel, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Ochoa. When Ochoa last faced the Colts back in September of 2023, he picked up 98 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
