A-8 Plains (8 Man) 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!
Anderson Filla Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Akron got the W thanks in part to Anderson Filla playing the best football he has all season. Filla rushed for 201 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 15 yards and a touchdown.
Filla must have Dayspring Christian Academy's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Filla rushed for 196 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.5 yards per carry the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in September.
Gamescore: 61.83
Big Game from Martin As Dayspring Christian Academy Fell 32-14
Dayspring Christian Academy had to settle for second on Friday, but Elijah Martin sure wasn't going down easily. Martin turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 63 yards.
Akron had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Martin it was a similar story. When Martin last faced the Rams back in September, he rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 48.80
Owen Harris put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 99 yards on only 13 carries.
Harris is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Akron on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Harris saw the Rams), he rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
Gamescore: 36.85
Jace Curtis' Big Game Leads Akron over Dayspring Christian Academy
Another Akron player making an appearance on this list is Jace Curtis. He rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 61 yards.
Unfortunately for Dayspring Christian Academy, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Curtis. Back in September (the last time Curtis saw the Eagles), he rushed for 113 yards while picking up 7.1 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown.
