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!
Gavin Parker Goes Supernova in Horizon Prep Win
Starting off the list is Horizon Prep's Gavin Parker, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Parker threw for 352 yards and five touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes, and also rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win (which was Horizon Prep's third in a row) raised their record to 4-2. Parker and Horizon Prep will challenge Julian at 3:00 p.m. on Friday.

This year, Church has caught 11 touchdowns while averaging 94.3 receiving yards per game.

Garrabrants rushed for 83 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 117 receiving yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 65 yards.

Underclassman Alexis Urquidez Comes Up Big Against Horizon Prep
Underclassman Alexis Urquidez came into Friday's game looking to prove himself and that's exactly what he did. Horizon Prep had no answer to Urquidez on Friday as he rushed for 98 yards and a touchdown.
Horizon Prep's probably not too fond of Urquidez given he always seems to get the better of them. When Urquidez last faced the Lions back in October of 2023, he rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries.

Alcaraz Posts Huge Game in 62-30 Loss
Another Borrego Springs player making an appearance on this list is Christopher Alcaraz. He threw for 78 yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
If the past is any indication, Alcaraz could be in store for another big game when he takes on Ocean View Christian on Friday. Alcaraz threw for 172 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries the last time he and the Patriots duked it out back in October of 2023.
