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!
Zaden Wolf Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Central Valley got the W thanks in part to Zaden Wolf playing the best football he has all season. Wolf wasn't messing around, rushing for 175 yards and five touchdowns on only nine carries, while also throwing for 78 yards and two touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes. The match was his seventh straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season. His longest rush was for an impressive 61 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win (which was Central Valley's fourth in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Wolf and Central Valley will challenge Chambers/Wheeler Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
