Josh Encinas Goes Supernova in South Win
Starting off the list is South's Josh Encinas, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Encinas threw for 188 yards and two touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
The victory (which was South's fifth in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Encinas and South have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Mira Monte at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Andrew Aguirre stepped things up a notch to give Tehachapi the 'W'. Aguirre was dynamite, rushing for 35 yards and a touchdown.
Tehachapi pushed their record up to 5-2 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. They and West are set to duel on Friday.

Kaidon Hagerty Makes It Two for Tehachapi

South Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Marvin Parra
South picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Marvin Parra. East Bakersfield had no answer to Parra as he made eight total tackles (2.0 for loss).
East Bakersfield's probably not too fond of Parra given he always seems to get the better of them. When Parra last faced the Blades back in October of 2023, he picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
