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
Travis Dye helped snap Anaconda's 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 also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up 0.5 sacks and making 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 square off against 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 victory (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.

Loyola-Sacred Heart Gets a Boost from Stack in 33-14 Win
Keeping Richardson company is Ethan Stack, a fellow Loyola-Sacred Heart player. He picked up 135 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 68 yards.
Thompson Falls had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Stack it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Stack saw the Blue Hawks), he picked up 126 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Mason Arlington and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Mason Arlington was instrumental in extending Florence-Carlton's winning streak to six on Friday. Lincoln County had no answer to Arlington as he threw for 198 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 37 yards.
