Channel 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Jaxon Roberts Leads Buena over Royal
On Thursday, Buena got the W thanks in part to Jaxon Roberts playing the best football he has all season. Roberts rushed for 318 yards and five touchdowns on only ten carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
For the year, Roberts has averaged 24.2 receiving yards per game.

Tyler Hoff Delivers Best Performance of Season
Tyler Hoff produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Buena to the win on Thursday. Hoff picked up 125 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 61 yards. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 80 yards.
Hoff is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Oak Park on Friday. Back in August of 2023 (the last time Hoff saw the Eagles), he picked up 102 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Caden Pugh Turns in Season-Best Performance
Royal came up short on Thursday despite Caden Pugh delivering his best game to date. Pugh rushed for 127 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Royal is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-5. Pugh's next match is against Ventura on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
