A-8 Central (8 Man) 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!
Logan Ginter Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Clear Creek's Logan Ginter, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ginter picked up two sacks and made seven total tackles. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up two sacks and making seven total tackles.
For the season, Ginter has averaged 6.3 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 30.17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 119.83 rushing yards.

Drew Starkey Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Gilpin County got the W thanks in part to Drew Starkey playing the best football he has all season. Starkey rushed for 161 yards and three touchdowns. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (100.2) per game. Those 161 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
This season, Starkey has averaged 22.8 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 57.10
Front Range Christian had to settle for second on Friday, but Torin Brautigam sure wasn't going down easily. Gilpin County had no answer to Brautigam as he picked up 58 receiving yards and a touchdown.
On the season, Brautigam has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 28.8 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 44.88
While Ryan Reyes delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Belleview Christian. Reyes was unstoppable, making nine total tackles and defending a pass. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 61 yards.
If the past is any indication, Reyes could be in store for another big game when he takes on Gilpin County on Saturday. When Reyes last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he picked up 1.5 sacks, made 23 total tackles, and defended a pass.
