Josh Encinas' Big Game Leads South over East Bakersfield
Starting off the list is South's Josh Encinas, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Encinas threw for 188 yards and two touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
The win was the fifth in a row for South, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Encinas and South have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Mira Monte at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Andrew Aguirre was a major factor in Tehachapi's victory over North on Friday. Nobody could stop Aguirre as he rushed for 35 yards and a touchdown.
Tehachapi's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 5-2. They and West are set to duel on Friday.

Hasley Came Up Big in South's 34-14 Win
Gyrell Hasley was instrumental in extending South's winning streak to five on Friday. Hasley was dynamite, picking up 43 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also punching in a touchdown on the ground.

Kaidon Hagerty Makes It Two for Tehachapi
The second Tehachapi player making an appearance here is Kaidon Hagerty, and for good reason. He rushed for 44 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making four total tackles.
For the season, Hagerty has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 22.6 rushing yards per game.

A Constellation of Stars for South
Another South player making an appearance on this list is Marvin Parra. He made eight total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Parra must have East Bakersfield'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 Parra saw the Blades), he picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
