D2 District 8 (8 Man) 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!
Brady Ahlemeyer Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Cambridge had to settle for second even though Brady Ahlemeyer put up the best numbers he has all season. Ahlemeyer picked up 118 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 42 yards. He is becoming a predictor of Cambridge's success: when he posts at least 80 receiving yards the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
On the season, Ahlemeyer has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 29.9 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 52.95
Hayden Muirhead Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Overton picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Hayden Muirhead. Muirhead was excellent, rushing for 141 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (105).
This season, Muirhead has averaged 112.7 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 65 passing yards per game.

Loomis Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Cauy Meyer
Cauy Meyer was instrumental in extending Loomis's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Meyer rushed for 38 yards and a touchdown. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
Loomis pushed their record up to 7-0 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Meyer and Loomis will venture away from home to face off against Overton at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Abram Norton Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Abram Norton posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Cambridge over Overton on Friday. Norton threw for 235 yards and five touchdowns, and also rushed for 52 yards.
This season, Norton has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 113 passing yards per game.

Schukar Came Up Big in Loomis' 44-6 Victory
Jace Schukar was instrumental in extending Loomis's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Bertrand had no answer to Schukar as he rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 45 receiving yards. Schukar's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 100 rushing yards dating back to last season.
This season, Schukar has averaged 54.3 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 24.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 156.57 rushing yards.
