Michael Valencia Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is South El Monte's Michael Valencia, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Thursday Valencia forced a fumble and made six total tackles. The effort also marked the most rushing yards (76) he has had since back in September of 2023. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 66 yards.
The win got South El Monte back to even at 3-3. Valencia and South El Monte will square off against El Monte at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Felipe Taboada Dazzles in El Monte Victory
Felipe Taboada was a major factor in El Monte's win over Gabrielino on Friday. Taboada turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 156 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
El Monte pushed their record up to 5-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Taboada and El Monte are taking a road trip to take on South El Monte at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Armando Renteria Delivers Best Effort of Season

Rosemead is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5. Renteria and Rosemead will be playing at home against Mountain View at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Matthew Medina Leads South El Monte over Mountain View
On Thursday, South El Monte got the W thanks in part to Matthew Medina playing the best football he has all season. Medina threw for 248 yards and three touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes.
Mountain View's probably not too fond of Medina given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Medina saw the Vikings), he threw for 211 yards and four touchdowns on only 16 passes.
