Wyatt Stanko Delivers Best Effort of Season
Simla was led to victory by Wyatt Stanko, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Stanko rushed for 136 yards and four touchdowns on only nine carries, and also picked up 59 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
For the year, Stanko has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 52.8 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to five.

Ethan Tesman Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Ethan Tesman stepped things up a notch to give Elbert the 'W'. Tesman was excellent, rushing for 183 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (110.2). He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 64 yards.
For the year, Tesman has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 142 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging four rushing yards per game.

Willoughby Came Up Big in Byers' 78-0 Win
Byers picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kaleb Willoughby. Nobody could stop Willoughby as he rushed for 94 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also picked up 46 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up two sacks and making five total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Byers pushed their record up to 5-0 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Willoughby and Byers will host Simla at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Matt Dooley Makes It Two for Elbert
Another Elbert player making an appearance on this list is Matt Dooley. He rushed for 126 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.9 yards per carry.
On the year, Dooley has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 99 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 11.6 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 44.68
Michael Trechter Rounds Out Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Michael Trechter of St. Mary. Trechter threw for 187 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 73 yards on only nine carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making six total tackles.
Trechter's next contest is against Calhan on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort. The Pirates had to take a loss when they last met the Bulldogs, but Trechter had little to do with the loss: he threw for 321 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
