4A Skyline 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!
Carlos Toscano Turns in Season-Best Performance
Greenway came up short on Friday despite Carlos Toscano delivering his best game to date. Toscano rushed for 274 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 60 yards.
Toscano is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Moon Valley on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Toscano saw the Rockets), he rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown.

A Season-Best Effort from Cristian Carrillo Leads Peoria over Greenway
Peoria was led to victory by Cristian Carrillo, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Carrillo rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries. He has become a key player for Peoria: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 0-3 otherwise.
Peoria's win ended a four-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 3-4. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Panthers faces off against Glendale at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
