5A-2 Region IV District 15 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Sharyland Gets a Boost from Harris in 70-33 Defeat
Starting off the list is Sharyland's Calvin Harris, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Harris threw for 372 yards and four touchdowns while completing 76.9% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. His passing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 315 passing yards dating back to last season.
On the season, Harris has thrown 19 touchdowns while averaging 292.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 15.67 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 74.33 rushing yards.

Cameron Sarinana Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Mission Veterans Memorial got the W thanks in part to Cameron Sarinana playing the best football he has all season. Sarinana threw for 242 yards and four touchdowns.
The win snapped Mission Veterans Memorial's losing streak at six games dating back to last season and leaves them with a 1-5 record. Sarinana and Mission Veterans Memorial will face off against Sharyland at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Benjamin Martinez's Big Game Leads Mission Veterans Memorial over Hanna
Thanks in part to Benjamin Martinez, Mission Veterans Memorial said goodbye to their six-game losing streak dating back to last season. Martinez turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday, picking up 89 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 41 yards.
For the year, Martinez has caught those 2 touchdowns while averaging 46.3 receiving yards per game.

Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles from Aiden Uribe
Aiden Uribe continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 18th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least six total tackles. He forced a fumble and made 16 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Uribe must have Hanna's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Uribe last faced the Golden Eagles back in September of 2023, he forced a fumble and made 17 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
