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 Turns in Season-Best Performance
Akron was led to victory by Anderson Filla, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Filla rushed for 201 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 15 yards and a touchdown.
Dayspring Christian Academy had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Filla it was a similar story. Back in September (the last time Filla saw the Eagles), he rushed for 196 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.5 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 61.83
Martin Posts Huge Game in 32-14 Loss
Dayspring Christian Academy had to settle for second on Friday, but Elijah Martin sure wasn't going down easily. Martin was unstoppable, rushing for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 63 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Akron's probably not too fond of Martin given he always seems to get the better of them. Martin rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Rams duked it out back in September.
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
