Week 11 of the European League of Football once again highlighted the impact of homegrown talents. Several local players put on remarkable performances, helping their teams achieve crucial wins and keeping playoff dreams alive.

Zouzelka dominates on the ground

Prague Lions running back Adam Zouzelka was unstoppable in their big win against the Helvetic Mercenaries. The 23-year-old carried the ball just 10 times but racked up 128 rushing yards, averaging an incredible 12.8 yards per carry, and added two rushing touchdowns.

Surge duo steps up in style

Just during warm-ups for the game against the Hamburg Sea Devils, Stuttgart Surge quarterback Lars Heidrich found out he would be starting due to a late injury to Reilly Hennessey. The German QB didn’t disappoint, completing 20 of 30 passes for 291 yards and three touchdowns. His top target was Louis Geyer, who had a standout game with five catches for 115 yards and two touchdowns, delivering big plays when the Surge needed them most.

Record-breaking day for Kwofie

Perhaps the most impressive homegrown performance ever in the ELF came from Rhein Fire wide receiver Harlan Kwofie. He caught nine passes for 154 yards and an incredible six touchdowns, setting a new league record for the most receiving touchdowns in a single game. Kwofie’s historic performance not only secured Rhein Fire’s win but also solidified his place in the ELF record books.
