C2 District 2 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!
Gavin Baker Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Archbishop Bergan's Gavin Baker, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Baker picked up 174 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Archbishop Bergan's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
Archbishop Bergan moved to 3-4 with that win, which also ended their four-game losing streak. Baker and Archbishop Bergan will host North Bend Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 42.07
Arlington had to settle for second on Friday, but Dallin Franzlubbers sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Franzlubbers as he rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries.
Arlington's loss was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 2-5. Franzlubbers and Arlington will square off against Tekamah-Herman at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 31.65
Killian Mcintosh's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Arlington over Yutan
Another Arlington player making an appearance on this list is Killian Mcintosh. He rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
For the year, Mcintosh has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 71.3 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns.
Gamescore: 29.20
Aj Arensberg and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Aj Arensberg was instrumental in extending Yutan's winning streak to four on Friday. Arensberg was dynamite, making two total tackles (1.0 for loss). He was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 53 yards.
Yutan's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 4-3. Arensberg will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Aquinas on Friday.
Gamescore: 28.63
Sheets Came Up Big in Archbishop Bergan's 26-0 Win
The second Archbishop Bergan player making an appearance here is Cale Sheets, and for good reason. He picked up 154 receiving yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 63 yards.
This year, Sheets has caught 8 touchdowns while averaging 90.8 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 48.33 receiving yards per game.
