4A Soco 2 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!
Avier Elvira Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Palmer Ridge got the W thanks in part to Avier Elvira playing the best football he has all season. Elvira rushed for 219 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.4 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (102.3). He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Palmer Ridge's win was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Elvira and Palmer Ridge will look to defend their home field on Friday against Vista Ridge at 7:00 p.m.

A Season-Best Effort from Camden Bruns Leads Rampart over Vista Ridge
