Tri-River 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!
Tyus Miller Turns in Season-Best Performance
Tyus Miller produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Clovis East to the win on Friday. Miller wasn't messing around, throwing for 240 yards and three touchdowns while completing 84.2% of his passes, and also rushing for 121 yards on only eight carries. The match was his fourth straight with three or more passing touchdowns dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Miller could be in store for another big game when he takes on Central on Friday. When Miller last faced the Grizzlies back in October of 2023, he threw for 441 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 12.6 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 100 yards on only 12 carries.
Gamescore: 50.10
Central had to settle for second on Friday, but Brandon Smith sure wasn't going down easily. Smith turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 100 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, while also picking up 53 receiving yards.
The loss snapped Central's losing streak at five games and leaves them with a 5-1 record. Smith will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Clovis East on Thursday.
Gamescore: 40.60
Jackson Cinfel Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Jackson Cinfel put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in November of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 169 yards and two touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (102.6).
This season, Cinfel has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 102.6 rushing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he was only averaging 6.8 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 14.6 receiving yards.
Gamescore: 36.68
Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Jack Nelson
Clovis East was led to victory by Jack Nelson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Nelson wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks and making eight total tackles (5.0 for loss). The game was his fourth straight with five or more total tackles.
For the season, Nelson has averaged 6 total tackles per game and for the season has 5 sacks.

Rose Made His Presence Known in Clovis' 37-10 Win
Deagan Rose was instrumental in extending Clovis's winning streak to six on Friday. Rose was unstoppable, throwing for 267 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
