2A Black 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!
Cox Made His Presence Known in St. Johns' 56-6 Victory
Starting off the list is St. Johns's Mark Cox, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cox rushed for 63 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also caught a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of St. Johns' success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-4 when he doesn't).
St. Johns' victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 4-4. Cox will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against ALA - Anthem South on Friday.

Jeremiah Martinez was instrumental in extending Pima's winning streak to six on Friday. Martinez turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 132 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his eighth straight game with at least 109 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Pima's victory was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-1. Martinez and Pima will face off against San Carlos at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
