A-8 Plains (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!
Grant Statz Dazzles in Haxtun Victory
Grant Statz was instrumental in extending Haxtun's winning streak to six on Friday. Statz did his part (and then some), rushing for 146 yards on only 15 carries for the 'W'.
Statz and Haxtun will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Dayspring Christian Academy at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th. The contest will pit Statz up against the Eagles' star rusher Elijah Martin. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Haxtun Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Zach Statz
Zach Statz was instrumental in extending Haxtun's winning streak to six on Friday. Statz rushed for 106 yards on only seven carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in November of 2023. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 101 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Statz and Haxtun will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Dayspring Christian Academy at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th. The game will pit Statz up against the Eagles' star running back Elijah Martin. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

While Anderson Filla delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Akron. Haxtun had no answer to Filla as he rushed for 94 yards.
Filla might have his next game, a road matchup with Dayspring Christian Academy, circled on his calendar. 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 two weeks ago.

Ryland Wolff put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in November of 2023 on Friday. He made four total tackles and defended two passes. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending two passes.
Akron had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Wolff it was a similar story. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Wolff saw the Rams), he forced a fumble and made ten total tackles (1.0 for loss).
