Wyland Made His Presence Known in Colonie Central's 33-29 Win
Another Colonie Central player making an appearance on this list is Brady Wyland. He picked up 91 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Colonie Central's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 2-5 when he doesn't).
This year, Wyland has caught 8 touchdowns while averaging 95.6 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 29.27
Lucius Anderson and Co. Win Tenth in a Row
Christian Brothers Academy picked up their tenth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Lucius Anderson. Anderson turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 81 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Unfortunately for Saratoga Springs, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Anderson. Back in September (the last time Anderson saw the Blue Streaks), he picked up 140 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 29.10
Archie Jones was instrumental in extending Christian Brothers Academy's winning streak to ten on Friday. Jones did his part (and then some), rushing for 32 yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'.
Jones and Christian Brothers Academy will challenge Shaker at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Brothers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Bison, probably because Jones had a solid game then too: he rushed for 43 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 104 yards on nine of 15 attempts. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

A Season-Best Effort from Derek Nash Leads Colonie Central over Bethlehem Central
Colonie Central was led to victory by Derek Nash, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Nash wasn't messing around, making eight total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception. The contest was his sixth straight with five or more total tackles. He is becoming a predictor of Colonie Central's success: when he posts at least one interception the team is 2-1 (and 3-4 when he doesn't).
This year, Nash has averaged 6.5 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 interceptions.
