2A Northern 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!
Tommy Williams Goes Supernova in Incline Win
Starting off the list is Incline's Tommy Williams, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Williams threw for 106 yards and three touchdowns on only ten passes, and also rushed for 34 yards and two touchdowns. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Coral Academy of Science - Reno had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Williams it was a similar story. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Williams saw the Falcons), he rushed for 99 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 96 yards and two touchdowns.

Aidien Rodriquez was a major factor in West Wendover's victory over Yerington on Friday. Yerington had no answer to Rodriquez as he picked up 65 receiving yards and a touchdown. Rodriquez showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 50 yards.
West Wendover now has a winning record of 3-2. Rodriquez will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Silver Stage on Saturday.
