Ocean 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!
Dougherty Came Up Big in Morro Bay's 34-26 Victory
Starting off the list is Morro Bay's Sands Dougherty, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Dougherty threw for 348 yards and four touchdowns while completing 80.6% of his passes. His passing production has been exceptional as that marked his eighth straight game with at least 309 passing yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Dougherty might just drop another big game when he faces off against Atascadero on Friday. Dougherty rushed for 170 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.6 yards per carry, and also threw for 339 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 passes the last time he and the Greyhounds duked it out two weeks ago.
