Bravo Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Elijah Ayala Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, San Juan Hills got the W thanks in part to Elijah Ayala playing the best football he has all season. Ayala rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 73 yards.
The victory (which was San Juan Hills' third in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Ayala and San Juan Hills will take on Yorba Linda at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Brady Annett Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Corona del Mar came up short on Friday despite Brady Annett delivering his best game to date. Annett rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also threw for 162 yards and a touchdown while completing 83.3% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Corona del Mar has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season. Annett and Corona del Mar will square off against Newport Harbor at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
