Caleb Solis Turns in Season-Best Performance

Gamescore: 33.50
Central had to settle for second on Thursday, but Brandon Smith sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Smith as he rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns. He has become a key player for Central: the team is undefeated when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
For the year, Smith has averaged 25 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 10.57 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 32.48
Graves Posts Huge Game in 34-26 Win
Clovis East picked up their seventh consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Lindsey Graves. Graves did his part (and then some), rushing for 129 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry for the 'W'.
Central's probably not too fond of Graves given he always seems to get the better of them. Graves rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 59 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Grizzlies duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 30.60
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Ross Cinfel stepped things up a notch to give Clovis North the 'W'. Nobody could stop Cinfel as he picked up 2.5 sacks and made ten total tackles (4.0 for loss).
For the season, Cinfel has averaged 7.3 total tackles per game and for the season has 5 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 3.71 total tackles per game.
