2A Black Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jeremiah Foster Turns in Season-Best Performance
Jeremiah Foster produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Globe to the win on Friday. Foster rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making six total tackles (4.0 for loss).
The win made it two in a row for Globe and bumps their season record up to 3-5. Foster and Globe will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Alchesay at 7:00 p.m. on October 24th.

Jaeger Franco's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
On Friday, Globe got the W thanks in part to Jaeger Franco playing the best football he has all season. Franco rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 168 yards and two touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Globe's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-4 when he doesn't).
On the season, Franco has thrown 3 touchdowns while averaging 72.5 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 16.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 26.88 rushing yards.

Deray Mathis Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Miami got the W thanks in part to Deray Mathis playing the best football he has all season. Mathis picked up 174 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Mathis and Miami will face off against San Carlos at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The contest will pit Mathis up against the Braves' star pass catcher Anson Kinney. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.

Castaneda Came Up Big in Miami's 18-13 Win
Keeping Mathis company is Abram Castaneda, a fellow Miami player. He threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 46 yards.
For the year, Castaneda has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 213.9 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had three passing touchdowns.
