Conejo Coast 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Jackson Taylor Leads Thousand Oaks over Rio Mesa
On Friday, Thousand Oaks had to settle for second even though Jackson Taylor put up the best numbers he has all season. Taylor threw for 356 yards and six touchdowns while completing 73% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Thousand Oaks is undefeated when Taylor posts 250 or more passing yards, but 2-3 otherwise.
Taylor and Thousand Oaks will head out to square off against Newbury Park at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Taylor took on the Panthers, he threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Brady Smigiel Dazzles in Newbury Park Victory
Brady Smigiel was instrumental in extending Newbury Park's winning streak to eight on Friday. Nobody could stop Smigiel as he threw for 290 yards and five touchdowns while completing 76.9% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Smigiel and Newbury Park will be playing at home against Thousand Oaks at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The contest will pit Smigiel up against the Lancers' star quarterback Jackson Taylor. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Shane Rosenthal Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Newbury Park got the W thanks in part to Shane Rosenthal playing the best football he has all season. Rosenthal picked up 199 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 82 yards.
Rosenthal and Newbury Park will face off against Thousand Oaks at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Rosenthal will face off against Hayden Vercher, the Lancers' star WR. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.

Rio Mesa Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to JJ Bittner
JJ Bittner's big game helped extend Rio Mesa's winning streak to four on Friday. Nobody could stop Bittner as he threw for 267 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries.
Rio Mesa's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-2. Bittner's next match is against Calabasas on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
