Valley Mission 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!
Diego Montes Goes Supernova in Kennedy Victory
Starting off the list is Kennedy's Diego Montes, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Montes threw for 324 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes, and also rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.
Unfortunately for Canoga Park, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Montes. When Montes last faced the Hunters back in October of 2023, he rushed for 56 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 98 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.
Gamescore: 68.20
Trujillo Posts Huge Game in 50-8 Win
Keeping Montes company is Martin Trujillo, a fellow Kennedy player. He picked up a sack and made eight total tackles.
This season, Trujillo has averaged 6 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 7.29 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 20.86 rushing yards.
