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
Thanks in part to Travis Dye, Anaconda said goodbye to their 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 didn't just play on offense: he also picked up 0.5 sacks and made five total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Anaconda's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-5. Dye and Anaconda will head out to challenge Loyola-Sacred Heart on Friday.
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 (which was Loyola-Sacred Heart's third in a row) raised their record to 4-3. Richardson and Loyola-Sacred Heart will look to defend their home field on Friday against Anaconda.
Gamescore: 39.60
Stack Came Up Big in Loyola-Sacred Heart's 33-14 Win
Another Loyola-Sacred Heart player making an appearance on this list is Ethan Stack. He picked up 135 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 68 yards.
Thompson Falls's probably not too fond of Stack given he always seems to get the better of them. 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.
Gamescore: 34.50
Mason Arlington and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Mason Arlington's big game helped extend Florence-Carlton's winning streak to six on Friday. Arlington did his part (and then some), throwing for 198 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 37 yards for the 'W'.
Arlington is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Thompson Falls on Friday. When Arlington last faced the Blue Hawks back in October of 2023, he threw for 226 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 34.05
