A-8 Black Forest (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Tj Eurich Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Tj Eurich produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Simla to the win on Friday. Eurich rushed for 114 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 137 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.2 rushing touchdowns per game. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 84 yards.
Simla's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-2. Eurich will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Elbert on Saturday.
Gamescore: 79.83
Willoughby Posts Huge Game in 58-8 Win
Kaleb Willoughby was instrumental in extending Byers's winning streak to seven on Saturday. Nobody could stop Willoughby as he rushed for 143 yards and two touchdowns.
Byers pushed their record up to 7-0 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Willoughby and Byers will be playing at home against Calhan at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 43.67
Caston Cox Makes It Two for Simla
The second Simla player making an appearance here is Caston Cox, and for good reason. He threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns on perfect 7-for-7 passing.
If history really does repeat itself, Cox might just drop another big game when he faces off against Elbert on Friday. When Cox last faced the Bulldogs back in October of 2023, he threw for 259 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 passes, and also punched in a rushing score.
Gamescore: 26.73
Byers Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Aj Engle
Byers picked up their seventh consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to Aj Engle. Engle produced his best game of the campaign : he picked up 30 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making three total tackles.
This season, Engle has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 43.9 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 25.72
