Angelus 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!
Eric Green Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Eric Green posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Paraclete over St. Francis on Friday. Green picked up 187 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He didn't just play on offense: he also made 11 total tackles and defended two passes.
For the season, Green has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 77.9 receiving yards per game.

Jaden Jefferson Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Jaden Jefferson was instrumental in extending Cathedral's winning streak to three on Friday. Jefferson was excellent, throwing for 165 yards and five touchdowns while completing 76.2% of his passes, and also rushing for 57 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 3.1 passing touchdowns per game. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Jefferson is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against St. Francis on Friday. Jefferson threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns while completing 74.1% of his passes, and also rushed for 63 yards the last time he and the Golden Knights duked it out back in October of 2023.

Isaac Fajardo Has Career Rushing Day
On Friday, St. Francis got the W thanks in part to Isaac Fajardo playing the best football he has all season. Fajardo rushed for 151 yards and three touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Paraclete's probably not too fond of Fajardo given he always seems to get the better of them. When Fajardo last faced the Spirits back in October of 2023, he rushed for 77 yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 42.08
Mesa Posts Huge Game in 39-30 Defeat
Another Paraclete player making an appearance on this list is Joseph Mesa. He threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes.
For the year, Mesa has thrown 23 touchdowns while averaging 341.2 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 36.27
Marley Luatua Delivers Best Effort of Season
Marley Luatua produced his most outstanding game to date while leading St. Paul to the win on Friday. Luatua's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 102 rushing yards.
The victory was the third in a row for St. Paul, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. Luatua and St. Paul are taking a road trip to take on Paraclete at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
