Mission Valley Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Effort from Matthew Medina Leads South El Monte over Gabrielino
On Thursday, South El Monte got the W thanks in part to Matthew Medina playing the best football he has all season. Medina wasn't messing around, throwing for 366 yards and five touchdowns while completing 79.3% of his passes. The match was his fourth straight with three or more passing touchdowns.
The win (which was South El Monte's fourth in a row) raised their record to 6-3. Medina and South El Monte will face off against Arroyo at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 42.00
Michael Valencia put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Thursday. He made two total tackles and defended a pass. He also punched in two rushing touchdowns, which is notable because South El Monte is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
Gamescore: 32.35
Weisbrod Posts Huge Game in 42-15 Loss
While Rosemead might've come up empty on Thursday, Frankie Weisbrod wasn't going down without a fight. Weisbrod was dynamite, rushing for 89 yards on only five carries, while also throwing for 233 yards on 13 of 23 attempts.
Rosemead has been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six games, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-7 record this season. Weisbrod and Rosemead are on the road again on Friday to play Gabrielino at 7:00 p.m.
