2A Verde 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Sean Collins Leads Shadow Mountain over Kofa
On Friday, Shadow Mountain got the W thanks in part to Sean Collins playing the best football he has all season. Collins rushed for 122 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. Shadow Mountain is 3-1 when Collins posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Kofa's probably not too fond of Collins given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Collins saw the Kings), he rushed for 197 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries.

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.
