Evan Poulin put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in November of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
On the year, Poulin has averaged 9.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 20.3 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 70.83 passer rating.

Tristan Jackson Makes It Two for Granby Memorial/Canton
The second Granby Memorial/Canton player making an appearance here is Tristan Jackson, and for good reason. He wasn't messing around on Friday, picking up a sack and making seven total tackles (5.0 for loss). The game was his fourth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
For the season, Jackson has averaged 5.8 total tackles per game and for the season has 2 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after four games last season, he was only averaging 2.75 total tackles per game.

Forte Made His Presence Known in Granby Memorial/Canton's 48-6 Win
Another Granby Memorial/Canton player making an appearance on this list is Vincent Forte. He rushed for 27 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 57 yards and a touchdown.
Forte and Granby Memorial/Canton will square off against Stafford/Somers/East Windsor at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The Bears got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Bulldogs, probably because Forte had a solid game then too: he threw for 148 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 44 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
