Golden Empire 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!
Braylen Blevins Goes Supernova in Casa Roble Victory
Starting off the list is Casa Roble's Braylen Blevins, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Blevins rushed for 175 yards while picking up 8.8 yards per carry. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Dixon had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Blevins it was a similar story. When Blevins last faced Dixon back in October of 2023, he rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also caught a touchdown.

A Season-Best Performance from Marcus Meras Leads Sutter over Natomas
Marcus Meras produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Sutter to the win on Friday. Meras rushed for 164 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 64 yards.
Meras and Sutter will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Casa Roble at 7:15 p.m. on November 1st. Meras will face off against Braylen Blevins, the Rams' star RB. Will the contest be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
