2A Agua Fria 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!
Jamerrius Anthony's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Cortez over Phoenix Christian
Starting off the list is Cortez's Jamerrius Anthony, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Anthony rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 51 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
On the year, Anthony has thrown 1 touchdown (and no picks) while averaging 19.6 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 18.88 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 71.38 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 42.10
Michael Anthony Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Another Cortez player making an appearance on this list is Michael Anthony. He rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (100.2). He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made nine total tackles (1.0 for loss).
If history really does repeat itself, Anthony might just drop another big game when he faces off against Kingman Academy on Friday. When Anthony last faced the Tigers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 174 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry.

Z'Yeon Rondan was instrumental in extending Phoenix Christian's winning streak to five on Friday. Rondan was unstoppable, rushing for 142 yards and three touchdowns.
Rondan is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Mountainside on Friday. Rondan rushed for 49 yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Wolves duked it out back in October of 2023.
