Big West - Upper 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!
Dorian Hoze Delivers Electric Performance Vs Chaparral
Starting off the list is Murrieta Valley's Dorian Hoze, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hoze rushed for 227 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.3 yards per carry. Those 227 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Hoze must have Chaparral's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Hoze last faced the Pumas back in October of 2023, he rushed for 210 yards and three touchdowns.

Longstreet Made His Presence Known in Centennial's 63-0 Win
Husan Longstreet's big game helped extend Centennial's winning streak to five on Thursday. Vista Murrieta had no answer to Longstreet as he threw for 216 yards and three touchdowns while completing 76.9% of his passes, and also rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown. Longstreet is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Vista Murrieta had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Longstreet it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Longstreet saw the Broncos), he threw for 299 yards and four touchdowns while completing 93.8% of his passes.

Joseph Stoffel Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Norco was led to victory by Joseph Stoffel, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Stoffel rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also threw for 96 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Stoffel has thrown 5 touchdowns while averaging 131.6 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to two.

Norco Gets a Boost from Schneider in 49-7 Victory
Another Norco player making an appearance on this list is Trevor Schneider. He rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 111 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Schneider must have Roosevelt's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Schneider rushed for 140 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Mustangs duked it out back in October of 2023.
