Central Connecticut - Tier 4 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!
Joey Motes Goes Supernova in Rocky Hill Win
Starting off the list is Rocky Hill's Joey Motes, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Motes rushed for 200 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry, and also threw for 121 yards and a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.
Rocky Hill's victory ended an eight-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 2-7. Motes and Rocky Hill will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Cromwell/Portland at 6:00 p.m. on November 27th.

Northwest Catholic Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Kayden Davis
Kayden Davis was instrumental in extending Northwest Catholic's winning streak to three on Saturday. Lewis Mills had no answer to Davis as he picked up 90 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Davis is on a roll when it comes to receiving touchdowns, as he's now hauled in two or more in the last three games he's played.
Davis might have his next game, a home matchup with East Catholic, circled on his calendar. Davis picked up 78 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in November of 2023.

Montalvo Came Up Big in East Catholic's 35-17 Win
Joey Montalvo's big game helped extend East Catholic's winning streak to four on Friday. Montalvo was unstoppable, picking up 152 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 61 yards.
Montalvo must have Plainville's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Montalvo picked up 348 receiving yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Blue Devils duked it out back in November of 2023.

Romar Heron Delivers Best Performance of Season
Bloomfield was led to victory by Romar Heron, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Heron rushed for 171 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The victory (which was Bloomfield's sixth in a row) raised their record to 8-2. Heron and Bloomfield will take on Windsor at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Vincent Burbank Makes It Two for Northwest Catholic
Another Northwest Catholic player making an appearance on this list is Vincent Burbank. He threw for 237 yards and four touchdowns while completing 81.3% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for four or more in the last three games he's played.
Burbank and Northwest Catholic will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on East Catholic at 5:30 p.m. on November 27th. The matchup will pit Burbank up against the Eagles' star quarterback Christian Morales. 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.
