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!
Kaleb Willoughby Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Byers got the W thanks in part to Kaleb Willoughby playing the best football he has all season. Willoughby rushed for 266 yards and three touchdowns. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August of 2023. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making 13 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
The victory for Byers keeps them at an undefeated 6-0. Willoughby's next game is against Elbert on Saturday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
