Aiden Deleon Goes Supernova in Apache Junction Defeat
Starting off the list is Apache Junction's Aiden Deleon, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Deleon rushed for 160 yards on only ten carries, and also threw for 180 yards and a touchdown on only 15 passes. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 96 yards.
Marcos de Niza had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Deleon it was a similar story. When Deleon last faced the Padres back in September of 2023, he rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 213 yards and a touchdown.
