2A Verde 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!
Sean Collins Delivers Best Effort of Season
Shadow Mountain was led to victory by Sean Collins, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Collins rushed for 122 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. Shadow Mountain is 3-1 when Collins posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Kofa's probably not too fond of Collins given he always seems to get the better of them. When Collins last faced the Kings back in October of 2023, he rushed for 197 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries.
