West Catholic Top Player Performances of the Week

Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!

A Season-Best Effort from Kingston Keanaaina Leads Saint Francis over Archbishop Mitty

Saint Francis was led to victory by Kingston Keanaaina, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Keanaaina rushed for 313 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.4 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.

Archbishop Mitty's probably not too fond of Keanaaina given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Keanaaina saw the Monarchs), he rushed for 167 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 carries.

Archbishop Mitty Gets a Boost from Faraj-Washington in 30-27 Defeat

Lazaro Faraj-Washington's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his fourth-straight game with 110+ rushing yards. He rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries.

On the season, Faraj-Washington has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 122.8 rushing yards per game.

Gamescore: 31.00

Another Game with at Least 109 Rushing Yards from Ekiah Mclemore

Ekiah Mclemore's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his third-straight game with 109+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns.

Valley Christian now has a winning record of 3-2. They and Archbishop Riordan are set to duel on Friday.

Gamescore: 30.80

Jonah Kroenung Has Career-Day on Friday

Jonah Kroenung posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He threw for 114 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 104 yards.

On the season, Kroenung has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 128 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 61.86 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 107.84 passer rating.

Gamescore: 29.60

Sargent Made His Presence Known in Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory's 29-12 Defeat

Rounding off our Top Five is Michael Sargent of Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory. Sargent threw for 211 yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.

Sargent and Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory will challenge Archbishop Mitty at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Fightin' Irish had to take a loss when they last met the Monarchs, but Sargent had little to do with the loss: he threw for 304 yards and three touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
