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!
Big Game from Stehly As Valley Center Won 22-19
Starting off the list is Valley Center's Daniel Stehly, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Stehly picked up four sacks and made 16 total tackles (5.0 for loss).
Valley Center has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. Stehly and Valley Center will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Westview at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

Gonzales Came Up Big in Escondido's 22-19 Defeat
Escondido had to settle for second on Friday, but Josh Gonzales sure wasn't going down easily. Gonzales turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 173 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Escondido is 3-1 when Gonzales posts 100 or more receiving yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Escondido's loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 4-3. Gonzales and Escondido will take on Westview at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Joseph Vinup Dazzles in Oceanside Victory
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Joseph Vinup stepped things up a notch to give Oceanside the 'W'. Vinup turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 141 yards and five touchdowns on only 12 passes.
On the year, Vinup has thrown 15 touchdowns while averaging 117.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 16.88 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 43.13 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 32.80
Landen Lockwood was a major factor in San Pasqual's win over Westview on Friday. Nobody could stop Lockwood as he made 18 total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended two passes.
For the year, Lockwood has averaged 12.4 total tackles per game.

Robert Renteria Makes It Two for San Pasqual
Keeping Lockwood company is Robert Renteria, a fellow San Pasqual player. He threw for 217 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 44 yards and a touchdown.
Renteria and San Pasqual are taking a road trip to face off against Rancho Buena Vista at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Renteria will face off against Noah Salazar, the Longhorns' star signal caller. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
