Tri-River 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Caleb Solis Leads Clovis East over Central
Clovis East was led to victory by Caleb Solis, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Solis wasn't messing around, picking up 3.5 sacks, forcing a fumble, and making seven total tackles (4.0 for loss). The matchup was his third straight with seven or more total tackles dating back to last season.
The victory for Clovis East keeps them at an undefeated 7-0. Solis will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Clovis on Friday.
Gamescore: 33.50
Central was sadly handed a loss on Thursday, but Brandon Smith did his best to prevent it. Clovis East had no answer to Smith as he rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns. Smith is becoming a predictor of Central's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
For the season, Smith has averaged 25 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 42.71 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 97.71 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 32.48
Lindsey Graves' Big Game Leads Clovis East over Central
Lindsey Graves was instrumental in extending Clovis East's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Nobody could stop Graves as he rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry.
Unfortunately for Central, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Graves. 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
Clovis North found a leader in Ross Cinfel as the team took down Clovis on Friday. Clovis had no answer to Cinfel as he picked up 2.5 sacks and made ten total tackles (4.0 for loss).
On the year, 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.
