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!
Jordan Lauago Delivers Best Effort of Season
Jordan Lauago produced his most outstanding game to date while leading La Mirada to the win on Friday. Lauago rushed for 200 yards and three touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
If history really does repeat itself, Lauago might just drop another big game when he faces off against Mayfair on Friday. When Lauago last faced the Monsoons back in October of 2023, he picked up 103 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 42 yards.
Gamescore: 46.58
Louis Johnson Dazzles in Mayfair Victory
Louis Johnson put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 157 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.1 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 72-yard run.
Johnson might have his next game, a road matchup with La Mirada, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Johnson saw the Matadores), he rushed for 179 yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 33.60
Bernardo Blanco Goes Supernova in Downey Win
Downey found a leader in Bernardo Blanco as the squad took down Bellflower on Friday. Nobody could stop Blanco as he rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries.
Downey pushed their record up to 6-1 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Blanco will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Dominguez on Friday.
Gamescore: 30.60
Dominguez had to settle for second on Friday, but Darrell Frazier sure wasn't going down easily. Frazier turned in nothing short of a gem, making eight total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Dominguez is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-5. Frazier will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Downey on Friday.
Gamescore: 22.05
Big Game from Fitu-Ahkui As Dominguez Fell 38-27
Another Dominguez player making an appearance on this list is Mikaele Fitu-Ahkui. He threw for 110 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown.
Fitu-Ahkui and Dominguez will face off against Downey at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The contest will pit Fitu-Ahkui up against the Vikings' star QB Oscar Rios. 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.
