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!
Tj Eurich Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Simla got the W thanks in part to Tj Eurich playing the best football he has all season. Eurich rushed for 114 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 137 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.2 rushing touchdowns per game. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 84 yards.
Simla's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-2. Eurich and Simla will welcome Elbert at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Kaleb Willoughby's big game helped extend Byers's winning streak to seven on Saturday. Willoughby was dynamite, rushing for 143 yards and two touchdowns.

Caston Cox Makes It Two for Simla
The second Simla player making an appearance here is Caston Cox, and for good reason. He threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns on perfect 7-for-7 passing.
Cox might have his next game, a road matchup with Elbert, circled on his calendar. Cox threw for 259 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 passes, and also punched in a rushing score the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in October of 2023.
