Pierce Jacobson Goes Supernova in St. Thomas Catholic Win
Starting off the list is St. Thomas Catholic's Pierce Jacobson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jacobson threw for 311 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 passes.
Jacobson and St. Thomas Catholic will venture away from home to take on Antonian Prep at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Jacobson will face off against Rogan Parson, the Apaches' star quarterback. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

A Season-Best Effort from Nico Anderson Leads St. Michael's over St. Pius X
On Friday, St. Michael got the W thanks in part to Nico Anderson playing the best football he has all season. Anderson threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.9 yards per attempt, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
This season, Anderson has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 178.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 3.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 8.17 rushing yards.
