Desert Empire 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!
Big Game from Williams As Rancho Mirage Fell 42-28
Rancho Mirage had to settle for second on Friday, but Jeremiah Williams sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the loss, Williams was still balling out as he rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also picked up 42 receiving yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Unfortunately for La Quinta, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Williams. When Williams last faced the Blackhawks back in October of 2023, he rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns.

A Season-Best Performance from Jackson Bishop Leads Palm Desert over Shadow Hills
On Thursday, Palm Desert got the W thanks in part to Jackson Bishop playing the best football he has all season. Bishop wasn't messing around, picking up five sacks and making seven total tackles (7.0 for loss). The contest was his 18th straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Bishop could be in store for another big game when he takes on Palm Springs on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Bishop saw the Indians), he picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).

Jesus Pazos' Big Game Leads Xavier Prep over Palm Springs
Jesus Pazos put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in November of 2023 on Friday. He picked up a sack and made 12 total tackles.
Pazos must have Palm Springs's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Pazos made 23 total tackles the last time he and the Indians duked it out back in October of 2023.
