Andres Bonilla Goes Supernova in Buena Victory
Starting off the list is Buena's Andres Bonilla, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Bonilla rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory was the third in a row for Buena, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Bonilla and Buena will challenge Marana at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

On the season, Moore has thrown 23 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 200.7 passing yards per game.

Casa Grande's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Luke Keeton
Casa Grande's three-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Luke Keeton. Nobody could stop Keeton on Friday as he threw for 339 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per attempt, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He has become a key player for Casa Grande: the team is 4-1 when he posts at least three passing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Casa Grande's win bumped their record up to 5-3. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cougars dukes it out withDesert View at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
