This Week's Top Player Performances from Across the League
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!
Cesar Belmontes Goes Supernova in Veterans Memorial Victory
Starting off the list is Veterans Memorial's Cesar Belmontes, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Belmontes rushed for 212 yards and one touchdown while picking up 8.2 yards per carry. He also made an appearance on special teams (luckily for Veterans Memorial): his a 47-yard strike wound up winning them the game.
Unfortunately for Alexander, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Belmontes. Belmontes rushed for 141 yards and a pair of TDs on only 14 carries the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in September of 2024.

Robert Pineda and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Los Fresnos picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Robert Pineda. Pineda was dynamite, rushing for 22 yards and three touchdowns, while also throwing for 129 yards and a pair of TDs while completing 75% of his passes. Pineda is crushing it when it comes to rushing touchdowns: he's punched in at least three every time he's taken the field this season.
Pineda must have Pharr-San Juan-Alamo's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Pineda last faced the Bears back in September of 2024, he rushed for 224 yards and one score while picking up 9.7 yards per carry, and also threw for 60 yards and one TD.

Huerta Came Up Big in Harlingen's 24-23 Win
Noah Huerta was a major factor in Harlingen's victory over United South on Friday. Nobody could stop Huerta as he rushed for 158 yards and two TDs.
Harlingen's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-3. Looking ahead, Huerta and the Cardinals are taking a road trip to square off against Mission Veterans Memorial at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

JC Fuentes Delivers Electric Performance Vs Pharr-San Juan-Alamo
The second Los Fresnos player making an appearance here is JC Fuentes, and for good reason. He picked up two sacks, forced one fumble, and made eight total tackles (3.0 for loss).
On the season, Fuentes has averaged 7 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 sacks.

Daniel Selvera Makes It Two for Veterans Memorial
Another Veterans Memorial player making an appearance on this list is Daniel Selvera. He forced one fumble and made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss). He also made an appearance on special teams (luckily for Veterans Memorial): his a 47-yard strike wound up winning them the game.
This year, Selvera has averaged 9.5 total tackles per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after four games last season, he was only averaging 4.5 total tackles per game.
