Del Rio 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!
Clark Made His Presence Known in Santa Fe's 40-8 Victory
Starting off the list is Santa Fe's Devin Clark, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Clark rushed for 162 yards and five touchdowns on only 15 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his eighth straight game with at least 103 rushing yards dating back to last season.
For the season, Clark has run in 20 touchdowns while averaging 136.8 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 42 rushing yards per game.

Isaac Lopez Del Haro and Co. Win Third in a Row
Isaac Lopez Del Haro was instrumental in extending La Serna's winning streak to three on Friday. California had no answer to Lopez Del Haro as he rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown.
La Serna's win bumped their record up to 6-3. Lopez Del Haro and La Serna will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Santa Fe at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.
