4A Soco 2 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Avier Elvira Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Palmer Ridge got the W thanks in part to Avier Elvira playing the best football he has all season. Elvira rushed for 219 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.4 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (102.3). He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Palmer Ridge pushed their record up to 6-1 with the win, which was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season. Elvira's next game is against Vista Ridge on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Camden Bruns Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Rampart had to settle for second even though Camden Bruns put up the best numbers he has all season. Bruns forced a fumble and made 16 total tackles.
Bruns must have Vista Ridge's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Bruns saw the Wolves), he picked up 0.5 sacks, forced a fumble, and made 11 total tackles (5.0 for loss).
Gamescore: 32.35
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Jackson Schmadeka stepped things up a notch to give Air Academy the 'W'. Schmadeka was dynamite, rushing for 57 yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Schmadeka has averaged 25.9 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 5.71 receiving yards per game.
