5A-2 Region IV District 15 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!
Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles from Aiden Uribe
Aiden Uribe continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 22nd-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least six total tackles. He produced his best game of the campaign : he forced two fumbles and made 28 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Uribe must have Pioneer's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Uribe made 22 total tackles the last time he and the Diamondbacks duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 40.25
Luis Pena Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Luis Pena posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Roma over Alice on Friday. Pena made 16 total tackles.
On the year, Pena has averaged 9.3 total tackles per game and for the season has 0 sacks. It gets even more impressive: after ten games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to five.
Gamescore: 38.03
On Friday, Mission Veterans Memorial had to settle for second even though Ryan Guerra put up the best numbers he has all season. Guerra wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks, forcing a fumble, and making 11 total tackles (5.0 for loss). The matchup was his 18th straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Guerra might just drop another big game when he faces off against Edcouch-Elsa on Friday. When Guerra last faced the Yellowjackets back in September, he picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made eight total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Gamescore: 34.50
Cruz Posts Huge Game in 34-14 Win
Lucian Cruz was instrumental in extending Alice's winning streak to five on Friday. Nobody could stop Cruz as he threw for 154 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 42 yards and a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of Alice's success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is 6-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Alice is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games, which provided a nice bump to their 7-3 record this season. Cruz and Alice will take on Pace at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
