2A Black Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jeremiah Foster Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Globe got the W thanks in part to Jeremiah Foster playing the best football he has all season. Foster rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making six total tackles (4.0 for loss).
The win made it two in a row for Globe and bumps their season record up to 3-5. Foster and Globe will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Alchesay at 7:00 p.m. on October 24th.

Jaeger Franco Has Career-Day on Friday
On Friday, Globe got the W thanks in part to Jaeger Franco playing the best football he has all season. Franco rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 168 yards and two touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Globe's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-4 when he doesn't).
On the season, Franco has thrown 3 touchdowns while averaging 72.5 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 16.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 26.88 rushing yards.

A Season-Best Effort from Sam Winters Leads St. Johns over Miami
On Friday, St. Johns had to settle for second even though Sam Winters put up the best numbers he has all season. Winters picked up 127 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 75 yards. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 71 yards.
St. Johns now has a losing record at 3-4. Winters and St. Johns will be playing at home against Chinle at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
