West Catholic Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Kingston Keanaaina Dazzles in Saint Francis Victory
Starting off the list is Saint Francis's Kingston Keanaaina, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Keanaaina rushed for 212 yards and two touchdowns. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
If the past is any indication, Keanaaina could be in store for another big game when he takes on Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory on Friday. Keanaaina rushed for 249 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.4 yards per carry the last time he and the Fightin' Irish duked it out back in October of 2023.

Marcel Leggett and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Marcel Leggett's big game helped extend Valley Christian's winning streak to four on Friday. Leggett's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 115 rushing yards.
For the season, Leggett has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 107.4 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 55.71 rushing yards per game.
