3A 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!
Ayden Williams Goes Supernova in ALA - Ironwood Victory
Starting off the list is ALA - Ironwood's Ayden Williams, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Williams rushed for 345 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.8 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
Williams might have his next game, a home matchup with San Tan Foothills, circled on his calendar. Williams rushed for 365 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.4 yards per carry the last time he and the Sabercats duked it out back in October of 2023.

Smith Made His Presence Known in Florence's 21-12 Loss
While Florence might've come up empty on Friday, Malik Smith wasn't going down without a fight. Nobody could stop Smith as he rushed for 98 yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Smith might just drop another big game when he faces off against Crismon on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Smith saw the Rattlers), he rushed for 134 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.4 yards per carry.

Zayden Cundiff Makes It Two for Florence
Keeping Smith company is Zayden Cundiff, a fellow Florence player. He rushed for 16 yards.
On the season, Cundiff has averaged 21.7 rushing yards per game.

Another Florence player making an appearance on this list is Logan Stenson. He rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown.
Stenson and Florence will take on Crismon at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Stenson took on the Rattlers, he rushed for 48 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 160 yards and a touchdown on only 12 passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

The second ALA - Ironwood player making an appearance here is Malachi Gomez, and for good reason. He rushed for 75 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries.
On the year, Gomez has run in 11 touchdowns while averaging 73 rushing yards per game.
