Wyatt Walker Crosses Big Stat Threshold

Logan Mael Makes It Two for Englewood
Keeping Robinson company is Logan Mael, a fellow Englewood player. He picked up 61 receiving yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Mael has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 27.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.67 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 50.5 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 30.92
Joaquin Aviles was a major factor in Elizabeth's win over Bennett on Friday. Bennett had no answer to Aviles as he threw for 109 yards and three touchdowns on only six passes, and also rushed for 72 yards. Aviles' longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Elizabeth pushed their record up to 5-2 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Aviles and Elizabeth will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Englewood at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
