Tasin Came Up Big in Maranatha Christian's 41-0 Win
Starting off the list is Maranatha Christian's Aaron Tasin, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tasin picked up a sack and made nine total tackles (2.0 for loss). He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 60 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Tasin might just drop another big game when he faces off against Tri-City Christian on Friday. When Tasin last faced Tri-City Christian back in October of 2023, he made 14 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
