Chris Barela's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is La Junta's Chris Barela, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Barela rushed for 195 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 82 yards.
La Junta moved to 3-4 with that win, which also ended their four-game losing streak. Barela and La Junta will square off against Florence at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Manitou Springs Gets a Boost from Moore in 28-14 Defeat
Manitou Springs had to settle for second on Thursday, but Logan Moore sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the loss, Moore was still balling out as he rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns.
Unfortunately for Lamar, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Moore. Moore rushed for 113 yards on only 15 carries, and also picked up 36 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Thunder duked it out back in October of 2023.
