D2 District 8 (8 Man) 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!
Brady Ahlemeyer Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Brady Ahlemeyer posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Cambridge over Overton on Friday. Ahlemeyer picked up 118 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 42 yards. He is becoming a predictor of Cambridge's success: when he posts at least 80 receiving yards the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
On the season, Ahlemeyer has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 29.9 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 52.95
Hayden Muirhead Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Overton picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Hayden Muirhead. Muirhead was excellent, rushing for 141 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (105) per game.
On the year, Muirhead has averaged 112.7 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 69 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 46.30
Cauy Meyer and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Cauy Meyer was instrumental in extending Loomis's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Meyer rushed for 38 yards and a touchdown. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
For the season, Meyer has averaged 26 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 46.05
A Season-Best Performance from Abram Norton Leads Cambridge over Overton
On Friday, Cambridge had to settle for second even though Abram Norton put up the best numbers he has all season. Norton threw for 235 yards and five touchdowns, and also rushed for 52 yards.
On the season, Norton has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 113 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 39.27
Big Game from Schukar As Loomis Won 44-6
Loomis picked up their seventh consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Jace Schukar. Nobody could stop Schukar as he rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 45 receiving yards. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 100 rushing yards dating back to last season.
On the season, Schukar has averaged 54.3 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had four rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 21.
