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!
Heritage Academy Gets a Boost from (Bubba) Burras in 56-20 Win
Starting off the list is Heritage Academy's Kaleb (Bubba) Burras, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. (Bubba) Burras rushed for 88 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 314 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
(Bubba) Burras must have Arete Prep's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When (Bubba) Burras last faced the CHARGERS back in October of 2023, he rushed for 71 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 101 yards and two touchdowns.

Uriah Neloms and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
San Tan Charter picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Uriah Neloms. Neloms turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 241 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushing for 66 yards and a touchdown.
San Tan Charter's victory was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Neloms and San Tan Charter will head out to take on Heritage Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Paul Soltero Goes Supernova in Heritage Academy Victory
Paul Soltero put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 36 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 70 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Arete Prep's probably not too fond of Soltero given he always seems to get the better of them. When Soltero last faced the CHARGERS back in October of 2023, he rushed for 157 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also picked up 60 receiving yards and a touchdown.
