5A San Tan 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!
Mcclintock Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Kemon Jackson
Kemon Jackson's big game helped extend McClintock's winning streak to eight on Friday. Jackson rushed for 83 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 146 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 87 yards.
McClintock pushed their record up to 7-0 with the win, which was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season. Jackson will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Sunnyslope on Friday.
Gamescore: 65.55
A Season-Best Effort from Mack Kump Leads Sunnyslope over Campo Verde
On Friday, Sunnyslope had to settle for second even though Mack Kump put up the best numbers he has all season. Kump picked up 187 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Campo Verde's probably not too fond of Kump given he always seems to get the better of them. When Kump last faced the Coyotes back in October of 2023, he picked up 66 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

On the season, Scroggins has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 96.7 receiving yards per game.
