B - West 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!
Anaconda's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Travis Dye
Travis Dye helped snap Anaconda's seven-game losing streak dating back to last season. On Friday Dye rushed for 69 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also threw for 90 yards and a touchdown while completing 85.7% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up 0.5 sacks and making five total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Anaconda's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-5. Dye's next contest is against Loyola-Sacred Heart on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
Gamescore: 40.00
Andrew Richardson put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He threw for 270 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per attempt.
The win was the third in a row for Loyola-Sacred Heart, bringing their record for this year to 4-3. Richardson and Loyola-Sacred Heart will be playing in front of their home fans against Anaconda on Friday.

Loyola-Sacred Heart Gets a Boost from Stack in 33-14 Victory
Another Loyola-Sacred Heart player making an appearance on this list is Ethan Stack. He picked up 135 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 68 yards.
Unfortunately for Thompson Falls, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Stack. Stack picked up 126 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Blue Hawks duked it out back in October of 2023.

Mason Arlington and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Mason Arlington was instrumental in extending Florence-Carlton's winning streak to six on Friday. Arlington was dynamite, throwing for 198 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 37 yards.
