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!
A Season-Best Performance from Tyus Miller Leads Clovis East over Clovis West
On Friday, Clovis East got the W thanks in part to Tyus Miller playing the best football he has all season. 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 contest was his fourth straight with three or more passing touchdowns dating back to last season.
Miller might have his next game, a road matchup with Central, circled on his calendar. 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 was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Brandon Smith did his best to prevent it. Nobody could stop Smith as he rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, and also picked up 53 receiving yards.
The loss snapped Central's winning streak at five games and leaves them with a 5-1 record. Smith and Central will take on Clovis East at 7:00 p.m. 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
Jack Nelson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Clovis East to the win 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.
On the year, Nelson has averaged 6 total tackles per game and for the season has 5 sacks.

Rose Came Up Big in Clovis' 37-10 Victory
Clovis picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Deagan Rose. Buchanan had no answer to Rose as he threw for 267 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
Rose must have Buchanan's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Rose saw the Bears), he threw for 217 yards and two touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes, and also rushed for 66 yards.
