8-Man Freelance (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Alex Asatrian Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Fresno Christian got the W thanks in part to Alex Asatrian playing the best football he has all season. Asatrian rushed for 92 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Fresno Christian is undefeated when Asatrian posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
On the year, Asatrian has averaged 18.9 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 16.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 49.57 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 48.18
Ryan Dollahite Dazzles in Orcutt Academy Victory
Ryan Dollahite posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Saturday. He rushed for 146 yards on only ten carries, and also caught a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 50 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win (which was Orcutt Academy's fourth in a row) raised their record to 4-1. Dollahite's next matchup is against Cate on Saturday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
Gamescore: 42.25
Big Game from Thomas As Fresno Christian Won 49-8
The second Fresno Christian player making an appearance here is Luke Thomas, and for good reason. He picked up 124 receiving yards and a touchdown. He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 52 yards.
This year, Thomas has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 64 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 41.82
Maverick Mack Has Career-Day on Friday
