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!
Anderson Filla Turns in Season-Best Effort
Akron was led to victory by Anderson Filla, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Filla rushed for 201 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 15 yards and a touchdown.
Unfortunately for Dayspring Christian Academy, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Filla. Back in September (the last time Filla saw the Eagles), he rushed for 196 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.5 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 61.83
Martin Came Up Big in Dayspring Christian Academy's 32-14 Loss
While Elijah Martin delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Dayspring Christian Academy. Nobody could stop Martin as he rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 63 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Akron had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Martin it was a similar story. Back in September (the last time Martin saw the Rams), he rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 48.80
Owen Harris put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 99 yards on only 13 carries.
If the past is any indication, Harris could be in store for another big game when he takes on Akron on Friday. Harris rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries the last time he and the Rams duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 36.85
Jace Curtis Makes It Two for Akron
Another Akron player making an appearance on this list is Jace Curtis. He rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 61 yards.
Curtis must have Dayspring Christian Academy's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Curtis last faced the Eagles back in September, he rushed for 113 yards while picking up 7.1 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown.
Gamescore: 25.45
Hawkins Flanagan Makes It Two for Dayspring Christian Academy
Another Dayspring Christian Academy player making an appearance on this list is Hawkins Flanagan. He rushed for nine yards.
Flanagan and Dayspring Christian Academy will take on Haxtun at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Flanagan will face off against Colin Cone, the Fightin' Bulldogs' star quarterback. 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.
