Broderick Vehrs Delivers Electric Effort Vs Hamilton
Starting off the list is Basha's Broderick Vehrs, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Vehrs threw for 277 yards and two touchdowns while completing 78.3% of his passes, and also rushed for 50 yards and a touchdown.
Basha pushed their record up to 6-1 with the victory, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season. Vehrs and Basha will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Chandler at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

A Season-Best Effort from Gio Richardson Leads Basha over Hamilton
On Friday, Basha got the W thanks in part to Gio Richardson playing the best football he has all season. Richardson picked up 183 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 89 yards.
Unfortunately for Hamilton, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Richardson. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Richardson saw the Huskies), he picked up 151 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

Paul Palmer and Co. Win Third in a Row
Paul Palmer was instrumental in extending Casteel's winning streak to three on Friday. Palmer turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 211 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for 31 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Palmer might just drop another big game when he faces off against Chandler on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Palmer saw the Wolves), he rushed for 58 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 199 yards and a touchdown.

Hamilton moved to 5-1 with that defeat, which also ended their five-game winning streak. Lucero Jr. and Hamilton will be playing in front of their home fans against Perry at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
