Ficarra Posts Huge Game in 20-13 Loss
Starting off the list is Columbia's Aj Ficarra, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ficarra rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns.
Columbia moved to 4-1 with that defeat, which also ended their four-game winning streak. Ficarra's next match is against Queensbury on Saturday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Christopher Carter Jr Makes It Two for Columbia
Keeping Ficarra company is Christopher Carter Jr, a fellow Columbia player. He rushed for 78 yards.
Carter Jr must have Averill Park's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Carter Jr last faced the Warriors back in September of 2023, he rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 54 yards and a touchdown.

Rocco Natale Jr Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Saturday, Amsterdam had to settle for second even though Rocco Natale Jr put up the best numbers he has all season. Natale Jr picked up 69 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Amsterdam's defeat dropped their record down to 1-4. Natale Jr and Amsterdam will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Troy at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
