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!
Farmer Came Up Big in Cascade Christian's 42-7 Victory
Starting off the list is Cascade Christian's Deryk Farmer, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Farmer threw for 210 yards and three touchdowns on only 18 passes, and also rushed for 37 yards and a touchdown.
On the season, Farmer has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 140.5 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 2.17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 63.67 rushing yards.

Caleb Scaglione Makes It Two for Cascade Christian
Keeping Farmer company is Caleb Scaglione, a fellow Cascade Christian player. He picked up 107 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.
Scaglione must have Phoenix's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Scaglione rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries the last time he and the Pirates duked it out back in October of 2023.
