Naugatuck Valley - Brass Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jaedan Cobb Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Crosby's seven-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Jaedan Cobb. Cobb showed up in a big way on Saturday, picking up two sacks, forcing a fumble, and making 18 total tackles. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (111). He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
Crosby's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-3. Cobb and Crosby will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Wilby at 3:30 p.m. on October 24th.
Gamescore: 101.85
Crosby's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Kalib Shaw
Crosby's seven-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Kalib Shaw. Shaw did his part (and then some), picking up two sacks and making 15 total tackles for the 'W'. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Shaw and Crosby will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Wilby at 3:30 p.m. on October 24th. The last time Shaw took on the Wildcats, he made 14 total tackles (2.0 for loss). Can he match (or beat) that performance?
