2A West Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Will Daniel Goes Supernova in Basalt Win
Will Daniel was instrumental in extending Basalt's winning streak to six on Friday. Daniel was dynamite, rushing for 192 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making 12 total tackles and defending a pass.
Daniel must have Coal Ridge's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Daniel last faced the Titans back in October of 2023, he rushed for 132 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries.

Andrew Palmaz Turns in Season-Best Performance
Aspen was led to victory by Andrew Palmaz, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Palmaz rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The victory was the third in a row for Aspen, bringing their record for this year to 4-2. Palmaz and Aspen will be playing in front of their home fans against Delta at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Mika Posts Huge Game in 53-6 Victory
Another Aspen player making an appearance on this list is Dylan Mika. He rushed for 98 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made five total tackles.
For the year, Mika has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 119 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 58.5 rushing yards per game.

Grayson Isenhart Turns in Another Game with at Least 13 Total Tackles
Grayson Isenhart continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 15th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 13 total tackles. He made 28 total tackles (1.5 for loss).
Basalt had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Isenhart it was a similar story. When Isenhart last faced the Longhorns back in October of 2023, he made 15 total tackles (3.5 for loss).

Will Tarallo Delivers Electric Effort Vs Coal Ridge
Basalt picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Will Tarallo. Coal Ridge had no answer to Tarallo as he rushed for 148 yards and a touchdown.
Coal Ridge's probably not too fond of Tarallo given he always seems to get the better of them. When Tarallo last faced the Titans back in October of 2023, he rushed for 172 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.6 yards per carry.
