Super - United White Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Pope John XXIII Gets a Boost from Hill in 35-34 Defeat
Starting off the list is Pope John XXIII's Tylik Hill, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hill rushed for 243 yards and three touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 55 yards.
Hill is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Seton Hall Prep on Saturday. Hill rushed for 221 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per carry the last time he and Seton Hall Prep duked it out back in September of 2023.

Depaul Catholic Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Derek Zammit
DePaul Catholic picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Derek Zammit. Zammit was dynamite, throwing for 216 yards and two touchdowns while completing 73.7% of his passes, and also rushing for 46 yards.
Zammit and DePaul Catholic will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against St. Peter's Prep at 6:30 p.m. on October 17th. The last time Zammit took on the Marauders, he threw for 240 yards while completing 84.6% of his passes, and also rushed for 43 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

A Season-Best Effort from Matthew Tafuri Leads Delbarton over Pope John XXIII
On Saturday, Delbarton got the W thanks in part to Matthew Tafuri playing the best football he has all season. Tafuri picked up 154 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (16) he has had since back in October of 2023. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 80 yards.
Tafuri and Delbarton will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Bergen Catholic at 1:00 p.m. on October 19th. The matchup will pit Tafuri up against the Crusaders' star running back Najee Calhoun. Will the contest be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Bryce Robbins' Rushing Yards a New Career-High
On Saturday, Seton Hall Prep had to settle for second even though Bryce Robbins put up the best numbers he has all season. Robbins rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Seton Hall Prep is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-4. Robbins and Seton Hall Prep will take on Pope John XXIII at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
