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 Delivers Best Performance of Season
Globe was led to victory by Jeremiah Foster, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Foster rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made 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
Globe was led to victory by Jaeger Franco, who turned in his biggest game of the season 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. 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).
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.

A Season-Best Performance from Deray Mathis Leads Miami over St. Johns
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 take on San Carlos at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Mathis will face off against Anson Kinney, the Braves' star wideout. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

On the year, Castaneda has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 213.9 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had three passing touchdowns.
