A-8 Black Forest (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!
Kaleb Willoughby Delivers Best Effort 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 win for Byers keeps them at an undefeated 6-0. Willoughby and Byers will head out on the road to take on Elbert at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Big Game from Eurich As Simla Fell 36-16
Simla was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Tj Eurich did his best to prevent it. Despite the loss, Eurich was still balling out as he rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Simla's success: when he posts at least 100 rushing yards the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
On the season, Eurich has averaged 44.5 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 46.25
Trechter Came Up Big in St. Mary's 24-20 Victory
St. Mary took down Calhan on Friday, a win that might not have happened without Michael Trechter's performance. Trechter was unstoppable, throwing for 196 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushing for 80 yards.
For the year, Trechter has thrown 10 touchdowns (and and only 2 pick) while averaging 183.4 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he had six passing touchdowns.

Matt Dooley and Co. Win Third in a Row
Elbert picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Matt Dooley. Dooley was unstoppable, rushing for 84 yards and a touchdown, while also picking up 50 receiving yards and a touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 60 yards.
This season, Dooley has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 96.5 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 9.67 rushing yards per game.
