Chicagoland Christian 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!

Luis Vargas Tops All Others This Week

Starting off the list is St. Edward's Luis Vargas, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Vargas made seven total tackles.

St. Edward is on a 15-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6. Vargas' next contest is against Chicago Hope Academy on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Gamescore: 19.95

Downey Posts Huge Game in 41-0 Victory

Wheaton Academy picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Nathan Downey. Bishop McNamara had no answer to Downey as he threw for 136 yards and two touchdowns on only nine passes.

For the year, Downey has thrown 12 touchdowns (and and only 1 picks) while averaging 180.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 36.12 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 129.48 passer rating.

Zach Moravec and Co. Win Fifth in a Row

Zach Moravec's big game helped extend Wheaton Academy's winning streak to five on Friday. Nobody could stop Moravec as he picked up 40 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

This year, Moravec has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 48.7 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 17.33 receiving yards per game.

Luciano Mauro Makes It Two for St. Edward

The second St. Edward player making an appearance here is Luciano Mauro, and for good reason. He picked up 1.5 sacks and made five total tackles.

On the season, Mauro has averaged 5.2 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1.5 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.33 total tackles per game.
