Western 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 Brady Palmer Leads Cathedral Catholic over Granite Hills
On Friday, Cathedral Catholic got the W thanks in part to Brady Palmer playing the best football he has all season. Palmer threw for 199 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
The win (which was Cathedral Catholic's third in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Palmer's next matchup is against Lincoln on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Kawika Devore Delivers Best Performance of Season

Big Game from Jackson As Lincoln Won 42-0
Aden Jackson was instrumental in extending Lincoln's winning streak to three on Friday. Point Loma had no answer to Jackson as he rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also caught a touchdown.
If the past is any indication, Jackson could be in store for another big game when he takes on Cathedral Catholic on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Jackson saw the Dons), he rushed for 108 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries.
