Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Ontario's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Samuel Abajuo
Samuel Abajuo helped snap Ontario's 15-game losing streak dating back to last season. Abajuo was unstoppable on Thursday, rushing for 166 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. His longest rush was for an incredible 84 yards.
Ontario's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-5. Abajuo and Ontario will look to defend their home field on Friday against Azusa at 7:00 p.m.

Wilson Gets a Boost from Ezeonye in 56-0 Win
Wilson picked up their fifth consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Dominic Ezeonye. Azusa had no answer to Ezeonye as he rushed for 153 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries. Ezeonye's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 126 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Ezeonye's next match is against Nogales on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort. The Wildcats had to take a loss when they last met the Nobles, but Ezeonye had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 98 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 39.80
Derek Ochoa Makes It Two for Wilson
Keeping Ezeonye company is Derek Ochoa, a fellow Wilson player. He rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 69 yards.
This year, Ochoa has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 120.8 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 6.8 rushing yards per game.

A Season-Best Performance from Rene Catarino Leads Wilson over Azusa
On Thursday, Wilson got the W thanks in part to Rene Catarino playing the best football he has all season. Catarino wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks, forcing a fumble, and making six total tackles (3.0 for loss). The match was his third straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Catarino and Wilson will look to defend their home field on Friday against Nogales at 7:00 p.m. The Wildcats had to take a loss when they last met the Nobles, but Catarino had little to do with the loss: he picked up two sacks and made five total tackles. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
