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 across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Wyatt Stanko Leads Simla over Calhan
On Saturday, Simla got the W thanks in part to Wyatt Stanko playing the best football he has all season. Stanko rushed for 136 yards and four touchdowns on only nine carries, and also picked up 59 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
For the season, Stanko has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 52.8 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to five.
Gamescore: 75.58
Ethan Tesman Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Elbert found a leader in Ethan Tesman as the team took down St. Mary on Friday. Tesman made a major impact, rushing for 183 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (110.2) per game. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 64 yards.
Elbert now has a winning record of 3-2. Tesman and Elbert will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Byers at 1:00 p.m. on October 19th.

Willoughby Posts Huge Game in 78-0 Victory
Byers picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kaleb Willoughby. Willoughby turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 94 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, while also picking up 46 receiving yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up two sacks and made five total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Byers' victory was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-0. Willoughby and Byers will take on Simla at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Michael Trechter Rounds Out Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Michael Trechter of St. Mary. Trechter threw for 187 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 73 yards on only nine carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made six total tackles.
For the season, Trechter has thrown 9 touchdowns (and and only 1 pick) while averaging 180.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 36.28 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 97.95 passer rating.
