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!
Kingston Keanaaina Turns in Season-Best Performance
Kingston Keanaaina produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Saint Francis to the win 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.
Unfortunately for Archbishop Mitty, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Keanaaina. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Keanaaina saw the Monarchs), he rushed for 167 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 carries.

Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory Gets a Boost from Sargent in 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 take on 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?
