A-8 Central (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Logan Ginter Has Career-Day on Thursday
Starting off the list is Clear Creek's Logan Ginter, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Thursday Ginter picked up a sack, made five total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defended a pass, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 69 yards.
The victory was the third in a row for Clear Creek, bringing their record for this year to 5-2. Ginter and Clear Creek will challenge Justice at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Drew Starkey Delivers Best Effort of Season

On the year, Starkey has averaged 19 passing yards per game.

Ryan Reyes' Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Ryan Reyes posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He made 11 total tackles. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 62 yards.
Gilpin County's probably not too fond of Reyes given he always seems to get the better of them. When Reyes last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he picked up 1.5 sacks, made 23 total tackles, and defended a pass.
Gamescore: 37.50
On Saturday, Front Range Christian got the W thanks in part to Luke Jerome playing the best football he has all season. Jerome rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries, and also threw for 73 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
If history really does repeat itself, Jerome might just drop another big game when he faces off against Belleview Christian on Friday. Jerome picked up 58 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 30 yards the last time he and the Bruins duked it out back in October of 2023.
