Central 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!
Stump Made His Presence Known in Kearny's 56-16 Victory
Starting off the list is Kearny's Brodie Stump, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Stump threw for 380 yards and six touchdowns while completing 78.4% of his passes.
Stump must have Clairemont's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Stump saw the Chieftains), he threw for 448 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 47 yards.

Hoover Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Cooper Woodhall
Cooper Woodhall's big game helped extend Hoover's winning streak to four on Friday. Woodhall was unstoppable, picking up 68 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Hoover is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. Woodhall and Hoover will head out on the road to challenge Canyon Hills at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Sir Autry Delivers Electric Performance Vs Coronado
The second Hoover player making an appearance here is Sir Autry, and for good reason. He rushed for 192 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.7 yards per carry. Autry is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 134 every time he's taken the field this season.
If history really does repeat itself, Autry might just drop another big game when he faces off against Canyon Hills on Friday. Autry rushed for 322 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 13.4 yards per carry the last time he and the Rattlers duked it out back in October of 2023.
