Maranatha Christian Gets a Boost from Tasin in 41-0 Victory
Starting off the list is Maranatha Christian's Aaron Tasin, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tasin picked up a sack and made nine total tackles (2.0 for loss). He was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 60 yards.
Tasin is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Tri-City Christian on Friday. Tasin made 14 total tackles (3.0 for loss) the last time he and Tri-City Christian duked it out back in October of 2023.
