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!
A Season-Best Performance from Jeremiah Foster Leads Globe over ALA - Anthem South
On Friday, Globe got the W thanks in part to Jeremiah Foster playing the best football he has all season. 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 victory made it two in a row for Globe and bumps their season record up to 3-5. Foster and Globe will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Alchesay at 7:00 p.m. on October 24th.

Jaeger Franco Has Career Rushing Day
Jaeger Franco produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Globe to the win on Friday. 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. Globe is 2-1 when Franco posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
For the season, Franco has thrown 3 touchdowns while averaging 72.5 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 16.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 26.88 rushing yards.

St. Johns now has a losing record at 3-4. Winters and St. Johns will welcome Chinle at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

For the year, Castaneda has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 213.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 80.71 rushing yards.
