Southwest Yosemite - Valley 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!
Abbott Came Up Big in Bakersfield's 35-0 Win
Starting off the list is Bakersfield's Brison Abbott, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Abbott rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 101 rushing yards.
Ridgeview's probably not too fond of Abbott given he always seems to get the better of them. Abbott rushed for 267 yards and five touchdowns on only 13 carries the last time he and the Wolf Pack duked it out back in October of 2023.
