Gateway 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!
Jordan Lauago Delivers Best Performance of Season
Jordan Lauago produced his most outstanding game to date while leading La Mirada to the win on Friday. Lauago rushed for 200 yards and three touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Lauago is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Mayfair on Friday. Lauago picked up 103 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 42 yards the last time he and the Monsoons duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 46.58
Blanco Came Up Big in Downey's 49-0 Victory
Bernardo Blanco was a major factor in Downey's victory over Bellflower on Friday. Blanco did his part (and then some), rushing for 103 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries for the 'W'.
Downey's win was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Blanco will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Dominguez on Friday.
Gamescore: 30.60
While Dominguez might've come up empty on Friday, Darrell Frazier wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the loss, Frazier was still balling out as he made eight total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Dominguez is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-5. Frazier and Dominguez will challenge Downey at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 22.05
Mikaele Fitu-Ahkui Makes It Two for Dominguez
Keeping Frazier company is Mikaele Fitu-Ahkui, a fellow Dominguez player. He threw for 110 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown.
Fitu-Ahkui and Dominguez will challenge Downey at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Fitu-Ahkui up against the Vikings' star signal caller Oscar Rios. 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.
Gamescore: 20.73
Jalill Harris Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Jalill Harris posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Dominguez over La Mirada on Friday. Harris made 13 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
For the year, Harris has averaged 7 total tackles per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.17 total tackles per game.
