2A West Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Will Daniel Delivers Electric Performance Vs Coal Ridge
Will Daniel's big game helped extend Basalt's winning streak to six on Friday. Nobody could stop Daniel as he rushed for 192 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making 12 total tackles and defending a pass.
Unfortunately for Coal Ridge, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Daniel. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Daniel saw the Titans), he rushed for 132 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries.

Andrew Palmaz Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Thursday, Aspen got the W thanks in part to Andrew Palmaz playing the best football he has all season. Palmaz rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The victory (which was Aspen's third in a row) raised their record to 4-2. Palmaz and Aspen will welcome Delta at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Mika Came Up Big in Aspen's 53-6 Victory
Another Aspen player making an appearance on this list is Dylan Mika. He rushed for 98 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made five total tackles.
On the year, Mika has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 119 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 58.5 rushing yards per game.

Another Game with at Least 13 Total Tackles from Grayson Isenhart
Grayson Isenhart continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 15th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 13 total tackles. He made 28 total tackles (1.5 for loss).
Basalt's probably not too fond of Isenhart given he always seems to get the better of them. Isenhart made 15 total tackles (3.5 for loss) the last time he and the Longhorns duked it out back in October of 2023.

Will Tarallo Goes Supernova in Basalt Victory
Will Tarallo's big game helped extend Basalt's winning streak to six on Friday. Coal Ridge had no answer to Tarallo as he rushed for 148 yards and a touchdown.
Coal Ridge had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Tarallo it was a similar story. Tarallo rushed for 172 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.6 yards per carry the last time he and the Titans duked it out back in October of 2023.
