Tri-Valley - Ohio 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Austin Gautier Leads Nelsonville-York over Vinton County
On Friday, Nelsonville-York got the W thanks in part to Austin Gautier playing the best football he has all season. Gautier rushed for 163 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.8 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The win (which was Nelsonville-York's fourth in a row) raised their record to 7-2. Gautier and Nelsonville-York will take on Athens at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Landen Inman Makes It Two for Nelsonville-York
Another Nelsonville-York player making an appearance on this list is Landen Inman. He made eight total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defended a pass. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 58 yards.
This year, Inman has averaged 8.3 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 33.97
Athens Wins Ninth-Straight Thanks to Seth Hart
Seth Hart was instrumental in extending Athens's winning streak to nine on Friday. Nobody could stop Hart as he picked up 1.5 sacks, forced a fumble, and made eight total tackles (5.0 for loss). Hart is crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least six every time he's taken the field this season.
Athens' win was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 9-0. Hart and Athens will square off against Nelsonville-York at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Alex Pero Delivers Electric Performance Vs River Valley
Alex Pero's big game helped extend Athens's winning streak to nine on Friday. Pero was dynamite, rushing for 117 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 60 yards.
River Valley's probably not too fond of Pero given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Pero saw the Raiders), he rushed for 137 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry.

Sutton Posts Huge Game in 58-0 Victory
Anthony Sutton's big game helped extend Athens's winning streak to nine on Friday. River Valley had no answer to Sutton as he rushed for 59 yards and two touchdowns.
On the season, Sutton has averaged 22.8 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 12.22 receiving yards per game.
