Bravo 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!
Nate Lewis' Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is Villa Park's Nate Lewis, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Lewis picked up a sack and made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for three straight games.
For the year, Lewis has averaged 7.8 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 16.63 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 40.75 rushing yards.

A Season-Best Effort from Adam Achour Leads Tesoro over Yorba Linda
On Friday, Tesoro had to settle for second even though Adam Achour put up the best numbers he has all season. Achour made 16 total tackles (3.0 for loss). Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 6.2 total tackles per game.
Tesoro is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-5. Achour and Tesoro are taking a road trip to face off against Corona del Mar at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Herr Came Up Big in San Juan Hills' 30-7 Victory
Timmy Herr's big game helped extend San Juan Hills's winning streak to five on Friday. Herr was unstoppable, throwing for 215 yards and three touchdowns while completing 87% of his passes.
Newport Harbor's probably not too fond of Herr given he always seems to get the better of them. When Herr last faced the Sailors back in September of 2023, he rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 76 yards and three touchdowns.

Glenn Baranoski Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles
Newport Harbor came up short on Friday despite Glenn Baranoski delivering his best game to date. Baranoski wasn't messing around, picking up a sack and making 15 total tackles. The contest was his 13th straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
On the season, Baranoski has averaged 11.5 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 7.5 total tackles per game.
