Santa Teresa - Foothill 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!
Jesse Herrera Drops League-Best Performance on Thursday
Starting off the list is Pioneer's Jesse Herrera, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Herrera rushed for 196 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.5 yards per carry. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending two passes.
For the year, Herrera has averaged 20.5 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to seven.
