Miramonte 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Aaron Silva Leads La Puente over Ganesha
La Puente was led to victory by Aaron Silva, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Silva rushed for 268 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.9 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (117.3). Those 268 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
If the past is any indication, Silva could be in store for another big game when he takes on Bassett on Thursday. When Silva last faced the Olympians back in October of 2023, he picked up 85 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 75 yards.

Ezekeil Zamora Goes Supernova in La Puente Win
La Puente picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Ezekeil Zamora. Zamora was dynamite, rushing for 103 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, while also throwing for 137 yards and a touchdown. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September of 2023.
Unfortunately for Ganesha, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Zamora. When Zamora last faced the Giants back in October of 2023, he threw for 362 yards and two touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
