Southern 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!
Jeshua Alcantara Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Los Angeles got the W thanks in part to Jeshua Alcantara playing the best football he has all season. Alcantara rushed for 169 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.3 yards per carry. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss).
If the past is any indication, Alcantara could be in store for another big game when he takes on West Adams on Friday. Alcantara rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.
