A-8 Six County (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Friday through Monday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Aldretti Made His Presence Known in Walsenburg's 46-0 Victory
Starting off the list is Walsenburg's Giovanni Aldretti, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Aldretti rushed for 287 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 15.9 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 65 yards.
This season, Aldretti has averaged 17.3 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 68.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 200.71 rushing yards.

Anthony Sandoval Delivers Electric Performance Vs Fowler
Hoehne picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Anthony Sandoval. Sandoval was unstoppable, rushing for 147 yards and three touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 147 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Sandoval is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Custer County on Saturday. Sandoval rushed for 166 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries the last time he and the Bobcats duked it out back in October of 2023.

Taylor Torres Makes It Two for Walsenburg
The second Walsenburg player making an appearance here is Taylor Torres, and for good reason. He picked up 54 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making 20 total tackles and defending a pass.
For the season, Torres has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 72.3 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 19.86 rushing yards per game.

A Season-Best Performance from Jake Magninat Leads Hoehne over Fowler
On Friday, Hoehne got the W thanks in part to Jake Magninat playing the best football he has all season. Magninat rushed for 60 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 119 yards while completing 75% of his passes.
Magninat and Hoehne will square off against Custer County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Magninat took on the Bobcats, he threw for 132 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also punched in a rushing score. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Bryce Froman Turns in Season-Best Effort
Fowler came up short on Friday despite Bryce Froman delivering his best game to date. Froman picked up 78 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Fowler's defeat was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 3-4. Froman and Fowler will be playing at home against Walsenburg at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
