2A East 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!
Wyatt Walker Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Kent Denver was led to victory by Wyatt Walker, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Walker rushed for 286 yards while picking up 12.4 yards per carry. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (121) per game. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Englewood's probably not too fond of Walker given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Walker saw the Pirates), he rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 45 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Logan Mael Makes It Two for Englewood
Another Englewood player making an appearance on this list is Logan Mael. He picked up 61 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Joaquin Aviles stepped things up a notch to give Elizabeth the 'W'. Aviles was dynamite, throwing for 109 yards and three touchdowns on only six passes, while also rushing for 72 yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Elizabeth pushed their record up to 5-2 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Aviles and Elizabeth will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Englewood at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
