Central Connecticut - Tier 1 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!
Drayvn Roberts Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, East Hartford had to settle for second even though Drayvn Roberts put up the best numbers he has all season. Roberts rushed for 150 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 186 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.
Unfortunately for Southington, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Roberts. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Roberts saw the Blue Knights), he rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also threw for 85 yards and two touchdowns.

Nick Andrews Delivers Best Effort of Season
Southington was led to victory by Nick Andrews, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Andrews rushed for 157 yards and three touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown.
Southington moved to 2-4 with that win, which also ended their three-game losing streak. Andrews and Southington will be playing in front of their home fans against Hall at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Allen Came Up Big in New Britain's 20-17 Victory
New Britain picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jayden Allen. Allen turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 180 yards and three touchdowns.
Allen might have his next game, a road matchup with Simsbury, circled on his calendar. When Allen last faced the Trojans back in November of 2023, he rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns.

Yaxier (Jack) Rivera's Big Game Can't Quite Lead East Hartford over Southington

For the season, Rivera has averaged 10.3 total tackles per game and for the season has 7 sacks.

A Season-Best Effort from Tyler Redden Leads Hall over Glastonbury
On Friday, Hall got the W thanks in part to Tyler Redden playing the best football he has all season. Redden picked up 70 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 66 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Redden and Hall are taking a road trip to square off against Southington at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The match will pit Redden up against the Blue Knights' star pass catcher Rosco Cook. 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.
