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!
Jaxon Roberts Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Thursday, Buena got the W thanks in part to Jaxon Roberts playing the best football he has all season. Roberts rushed for 318 yards and five touchdowns on only ten carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
This year, Roberts has averaged 24.2 receiving yards per game.

Tyler Hoff Turns in Season-Best Effort
Tyler Hoff produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Buena to the win on Thursday. Hoff picked up 125 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 61 yards. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. His longest reception was for an incredible 80 yards.
Hoff is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Oak Park on Friday. Back in August of 2023 (the last time Hoff saw the Eagles), he picked up 102 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Garcia Made His Presence Known in Ventura's 36-35 Victory

This season, Garcia has thrown 19 touchdowns while averaging 242.6 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had 11 passing touchdowns.

Tillman Lovett's Big Game Leads Oak Park over Oxnard

A Season-Best Performance from Caden Pugh Leads Royal over Buena
Sadly, Caden Pugh posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Royal over Buena on Thursday. Pugh rushed for 127 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Royal is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-5. Pugh and Royal will venture away from home to face off against Ventura at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
