2A-2 Region I District 1 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!
Bryce Braden Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Stratford's Bryce Braden, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Braden made 15 total tackles (3.0 for loss). He also rushed for 113 rushing yards, which is notable because Stratford is 2-1 when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Stratford's defeat dropped their record down to 3-3. Braden and Stratford will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Bovina at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
Gamescore: 34.07
Bovina was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Angel Lara did his best to prevent it. Lara turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 40 yards, while also picking up 33 receiving yards.
For the year, Lara has averaged 79.3 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 28.77
Luis Avila Makes It Two for Bovina
Keeping Lara company is Luis Avila, a fellow Bovina player. He rushed for 32 yards.
For the season, Avila has averaged 54.8 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 11 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 25.70
A Constellation of Stars for Stratford
Another Stratford player making an appearance on this list is Julio Valdez. He rushed for 18 yards and a touchdown.
Valdez must have Gruver's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Valdez last faced the Greyhounds back in September of 2023, he picked up 153 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 31 yards and two touchdowns.
