2A Salt 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!
Kaleb (Bubba) Burras Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Heritage Academy's Kaleb (Bubba) Burras, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. (Bubba) Burras rushed for 158 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 184 yards and two touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (100.3). He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 79-yard run.
(Bubba) Burras is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Arete Prep on Friday. (Bubba) Burras rushed for 71 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 101 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the CHARGERS duked it out back in October of 2023.

Aidan Ysaguirre's Big Game Leads Santa Cruz Valley over Heritage Academy
Aidan Ysaguirre's big game helped extend Santa Cruz Valley's winning streak to seven on Friday. Ysaguirre did his part (and then some), rushing for 175 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Ysaguirre could be in store for another big game when he takes on San Tan Charter on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Ysaguirre saw the Roadrunners), he rushed for 184 yards.

San Tan Charter Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Uriah Neloms

San Tan Charter's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-0. Neloms and San Tan Charter will host Santa Cruz Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
