Angelus 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!
Eric Green Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Paraclete had to settle for second even though Eric Green put up the best numbers he has all season. Green picked up 187 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making 11 total tackles and defending two passes.
This season, Green has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 77.9 receiving yards per game.

Jaden Jefferson Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Cathedral picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jaden Jefferson. Jefferson was excellent, throwing for 165 yards and five touchdowns while completing 76.2% of his passes, and also rushing for 57 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 3.1 passing touchdowns per game. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Jefferson could be in store for another big game when he takes on St. Francis on Friday. Jefferson threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns while completing 74.1% of his passes, and also rushed for 63 yards the last time he and the Golden Knights duked it out back in October of 2023.

Isaac Fajardo Has Career Rushing Day
St. Francis was led to victory by Isaac Fajardo, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Fajardo rushed for 151 yards and three touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Fajardo must have Paraclete's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Fajardo rushed for 77 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Spirits duked it out back in October of 2023.

Paraclete Gets a Boost from Mesa in 39-30 Loss
The second Paraclete player making an appearance here is Joseph Mesa, and for good reason. He threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes.
For the season, Mesa has thrown 23 touchdowns while averaging 341.2 passing yards per game.

Marley Luatua Turns in Season-Best Performance
Marley Luatua produced his most outstanding game to date while leading St. Paul to the win on Friday. Luatua's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 102 rushing yards.
The victory was the third in a row for St. Paul, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. Luatua will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Paraclete on Friday.
