Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Big Game from Ochoa As Strake Jesuit Won 48-9
Starting off the list is Strake Jesuit's Grayson Ochoa, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ochoa rushed for 200 yards and four scores on only 12 carries. His longest rush was for an incredible 92 yards.
The victory got Strake Jesuit back to even at 2-2. Ochoa and the Fighting Crusaders will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on George Ranch at 7:00 p.m. on October 3.

John Hebert Turns in Another Game with at Least 118 Rushing Yards
John Hebert's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his 17th-straight game with 118+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 197 yards and three TDs on only 12 carries.
Hebert is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against George Ranch on Friday. Back in October of 2024 (the last time Hebert saw the Longhorns), he rushed for 420 yards and five scores while picking up 15.0 yards per carry.

Hayden Drinkard Delivers Electric Performance Vs Bryan
Hayden Drinkard's rushing tear continued on Saturday as he dropped his sixth-straight game with 125+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 128 yards and two TDs on only 11 carries.
Drinkard must have Bryan's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2024 (the last time Drinkard saw the Vikings), he rushed for 238 yards and a pair of touchdowns on only 15 carries.
