Julian Fernandez Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Corcoran's Julian Fernandez, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Fernandez picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made four total tackles.
Corcoran now has a winning record of 4-3. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Panthers challenges Orosi at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.

Tony Alvarez Dazzles in Corcoran Victory
Keeping Fernandez company is Tony Alvarez, a fellow Corcoran player. He threw for 156 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also rushed for 38 yards and a touchdown.
On the year, Alvarez has thrown 18 touchdowns while averaging 203.7 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 71.86 passing yards per game.

Lindsay Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Ethan Cortes
Lindsay picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Ethan Cortes. Cortes was dynamite, rushing for 47 yards.

Colunga Posts Huge Game in 20-19 Defeat
Strathmore was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Isaiah Colunga did his best to prevent it. Colunga was dynamite, rushing for 47 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 165 yards on seven of 19 attempts.
Strathmore moved to 5-2 with that defeat, which also ended their three-game winning streak. Colunga and Strathmore will take on Granite Hills at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 30.35
Jose Cortes Makes It Two for Lindsay
Another Lindsay player making an appearance on this list is Jose Cortes. He rushed for 136 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.0 yards per carry.
Farmersville's probably not too fond of Cortes given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Cortes saw the Aztecs), he rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries.
