Aldretti Came Up Big in Walsenburg's 46-0 Win
Starting off the list is Walsenburg's Giovanni Aldretti, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Aldretti rushed for 287 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 15.9 yards per carry. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 65 yards.
This season, Aldretti has averaged 17.3 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 68.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 200.71 rushing yards.

Anthony Sandoval's Big Game Leads Hoehne over Fowler
Anthony Sandoval's big game helped extend Hoehne's winning streak to three on Friday. Sandoval turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 147 yards and three touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 147 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Sandoval might have his next game, a road matchup with Custer County, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Sandoval saw the Bobcats), he rushed for 166 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries.

A Season-Best Effort from Jake Magninat Leads Hoehne over Fowler
Hoehne was led to victory by Jake Magninat, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Magninat rushed for 60 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 119 yards while completing 75% of his passes.
Magninat and Hoehne will square off against Custer County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Magninat took on the Bobcats, he threw for 132 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also punched in a rushing score. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Bryce Froman Turns in Season-Best Performance
Fowler came up short on Friday despite Bryce Froman delivering his best game to date. Froman picked up 78 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Fowler dropped their record down to 3-4 with the defeat, which was their third straight on the road. Froman will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Walsenburg on Friday.
