Colin Mihelic Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Heritage's Colin Mihelic, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mihelic rushed for 119 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (101.6) per game. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 119 rushing yards.
Heritage's victory ended an eight-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 3-4. Mihelic and Heritage will host Loudoun Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Chase Loftis Leads Loudoun Valley over Rocktown
Loudoun Valley was led to victory by Chase Loftis, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Loftis wasn't messing around, picking up a sack, forcing two fumbles, and making ten total tackles (3.0 for loss). The game was his seventh straight with six or more total tackles.
Loudoun Valley now has a winning record of 4-3. Their road trip will continue as they head out to face Heritage at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Ethan Lafollette Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Loudoun Valley got the W thanks in part to Ethan Lafollette playing the best football he has all season. Lafollette rushed for 148 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making two total tackles and defending two passes.
Lafollette is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Heritage on Friday. When Lafollette last faced the Pride back in October of 2023, he rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries.
