2A Salt 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!
(Bubba) Burras Came Up Big in Heritage Academy's 56-20 Win
Starting off the list is Heritage Academy's Kaleb (Bubba) Burras, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. (Bubba) Burras rushed for 88 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 314 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Unfortunately for Arete Prep, this isn't the first big game they've seen from (Bubba) Burras. (Bubba) Burras rushed for 71 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 101 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the CHARGERS duked it out back in October of 2023.

Big Game from Soltero As Heritage Academy Won 56-20
Paul Soltero put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 36 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 70 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Soltero must have Arete Prep'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 Soltero saw the CHARGERS), he rushed for 157 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also picked up 60 receiving yards and a touchdown.

San Tan Charter's victory was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Neloms and San Tan Charter will challenge Heritage Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
