Jaden Jefferson's Big Game Leads Cathedral over Bishop Alemany
Starting off the list is Cathedral's Jaden Jefferson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jefferson threw for 226 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 71 yards on only six carries.
Bishop Alemany had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Jefferson it was a similar story. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Jefferson saw the Warriors), he threw for 202 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.

Marley Luatua Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, St. Paul got the W thanks in part to Marley Luatua playing the best football he has all season. Luatua rushed for 102 yards and three touchdowns. St. Paul is 2-1 when Luatua posts 80 or more rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
The win snapped St. Paul's winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-3 record. Luatua and St. Paul are on the road again on Friday to play St. Pius X-St. Matthias Academy at 7:00 p.m.
