Big West - Upper 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!
Dorian Hoze's Big Game Leads Murrieta Valley over Chaparral
Starting off the list is Murrieta Valley's Dorian Hoze, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hoze rushed for 227 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.3 yards per carry. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Chaparral had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Hoze it was a similar story. Hoze rushed for 210 yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Pumas duked it out back in October of 2023.

Longstreet Made His Presence Known in Centennial's 63-0 Victory
Husan Longstreet was instrumental in extending Centennial's winning streak to five on Thursday. Longstreet was dynamite, throwing for 216 yards and three touchdowns while completing 76.9% of his passes, and also rushing for 32 yards and a touchdown. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Vista Murrieta's probably not too fond of Longstreet given he always seems to get the better of them. Longstreet threw for 299 yards and four touchdowns while completing 93.8% of his passes the last time he and the Broncos duked it out back in October of 2023.

Jeremiah Watson Delivers Best Effort of Season
Murrieta Valley was led to victory by Jeremiah Watson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Watson rushed for 149 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 61 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Watson has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 60 rushing yards per game.

Joseph Stoffel Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Friday, Norco got the W thanks in part to Joseph Stoffel playing the best football he has all season. Stoffel rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also threw for 96 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
For the year, Stoffel has thrown 5 touchdowns while averaging 131.6 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to two.

Big Game from Schneider As Norco Won 49-7
Keeping Stoffel company is Trevor Schneider, a fellow Norco player. He rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 111 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Unfortunately for Roosevelt, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Schneider. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Schneider saw the Mustangs), he rushed for 140 yards and a touchdown.
