Tri-River 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Caleb Solis Leads Clovis East over Central
On Thursday, Clovis East got the W thanks in part to Caleb Solis playing the best football he has all season. Solis wasn't messing around, picking up 3.5 sacks, forcing a fumble, and making seven total tackles (4.0 for loss). The game was his third straight with seven or more total tackles dating back to last season.
The victory for Clovis East keeps them at an undefeated 7-0. Solis and Clovis East will head out to take on Clovis at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 33.50
Central was sadly handed a defeat on Thursday, but Brandon Smith did his best to prevent it. Smith turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 101 yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Central's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
For the year, Smith has averaged 25 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 10.57 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 32.48
Graves Posts Huge Game in 34-26 Victory
Lindsey Graves's big game helped extend Clovis East's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Graves turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 129 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry.
Graves must have Central's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Graves saw the Grizzlies), he rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 59 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 30.60
Clovis North found a leader in Ross Cinfel as the team took down Clovis on Friday. Cinfel was dynamite, picking up 2.5 sacks and making ten total tackles (4.0 for loss).
This season, Cinfel has averaged 7.3 total tackles per game and for the season has 5 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 3.71 total tackles per game.
