4A Skyline 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!
Carlos Toscano Turns in Season-Best Performance
Greenway came up short on Friday despite Carlos Toscano delivering his best game to date. Toscano rushed for 274 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 60 yards.
If the past is any indication, Toscano could be in store for another big game when he takes on Moon Valley on Friday. Toscano rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Rockets duked it out back in October of 2023.
