5A Southern 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!
Andres Bonilla's Big Game Leads Buena over Desert View
Starting off the list is Buena's Andres Bonilla, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Bonilla rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory was the third in a row for Buena, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Bonilla and Buena will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Sunnyside at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Big Game from Moore As Buena Won 70-0
Keeping Bonilla company is Nash Moore, a fellow Buena player. He rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 93 yards and two touchdowns. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 81-yard run.
On the season, Moore has thrown 23 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 200.7 passing yards per game.

A Season-Best Performance from Greg Webb Leads Marana over Cienega
Marana was led to victory by Greg Webb, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Webb wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks, making 11 total tackles (4.0 for loss), and defending a pass. The game was his fifth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Webb and Marana will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Desert View at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st. The Tigers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Jaguars, probably because Webb had a solid game then too: he picked up a sack and made six total tackles (3.0 for loss). Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Luke Keeton Puts an End to Casa Grande's Losing Streak on Friday
Luke Keeton helped snap Casa Grande's three-game losing streak. Keeton was dynamite on Friday, throwing for 339 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per attempt, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground. He has become a key player for Casa Grande: the team is 4-1 when he posts at least three passing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Casa Grande's victory bumped their record up to 5-3. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cougars challenges Desert View at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Raymond Duarte Dazzles in Sunnyside Loss
Raymond Duarte posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also threw for 120 yards on 11 of 18 attempts.
For the year, Duarte has averaged 97 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging two rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 52.86 rushing yards.
