Almont 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!
Jesse Medina Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Bell Gardens got the W thanks in part to Jesse Medina playing the best football he has all season. Medina rushed for 279 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 15.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 62 yards.
The victory was the third in a row for Bell Gardens, bringing their record for this year to 4-1. Medina and Bell Gardens will head out on the road to challenge San Gabriel at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Elias Navarro
Elias Navarro produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Schurr to the win on Friday. Navarro wasn't messing around, rushing for 124 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries. The match was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season.
Unfortunately for San Gabriel, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Navarro. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Navarro saw the Matadors), he rushed for 90 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 35 receiving yards.

Bell Gardens Gets a Boost from Duarte in 46-0 Victory
Another Bell Gardens player making an appearance on this list is Devyn Duarte. He picked up 98 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 80 yards.
This season, Duarte has caught those 3 touchdowns while averaging 46.3 receiving yards per game.

Joseph Alvarado Makes It Two for Schurr
Another Schurr player making an appearance on this list is Joseph Alvarado. He rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 102 yards and a touchdown.
Alvarado and Schurr will host Mark Keppel at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Spartans got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Aztecs, probably because Alvarado had a solid game then too: he rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
