Southern 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!
Miguel Moreno Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Le Grand's Miguel Moreno, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Moreno picked up 176 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average receiving yardage north of 100 yards per game (100.7). He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 60 yards.
Le Grand is on a five-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-4. Moreno and Le Grand are taking a road trip to face off against Stone Ridge Christian at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 36.43
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Antonio Gutierrez stepped things up a notch to give Delhi the 'W'. Mariposa County had no answer to Gutierrez as he rushed for 71 yards.
Delhi has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Gutierrez and Delhi will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Waterford at 7:15 p.m. on October 18th.

Big Game from Gayle As Waterford Fell 35-16
Waterford was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Christian Gayle did his best to prevent it. Despite the loss, Gayle was still balling out as he picked up 109 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Waterford has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season. Gayle and Waterford will get a bit of extra time to process the defeat as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Delhi at 7:15 p.m. on October 18th.

Bryan Martinez Makes It Two for Waterford
The second Waterford player making an appearance here is Bryan Martinez, and for good reason. He threw for 291 yards and two touchdowns.
Martinez and Waterford will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Delhi at 7:15 p.m. on October 18th. The game will pit Martinez up against the Hawks' star signal caller Diego Cardenas. 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.
