Super - United White Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Pope John XXIII Gets a Boost from Hill in 35-34 Loss
Starting off the list is Pope John XXIII's Tylik Hill, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hill rushed for 243 yards and three touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 55 yards.
Hill might have his next game, a home matchup with Seton Hall Prep, circled on his calendar. When Hill last faced Seton Hall Prep back in September of 2023, he rushed for 221 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per carry.

Derek Zammit and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
DePaul Catholic picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Derek Zammit. Zammit did his part (and then some), throwing for 216 yards and two touchdowns while completing 73.7% of his passes, and also rushing for 46 yards for the 'W'.
Zammit and DePaul Catholic will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on St. Peter's Prep at 6:30 p.m. on October 17th. The Spartans got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Marauders, probably because Zammit had a solid game then too: he threw for 240 yards while completing 84.6% of his passes, and also rushed for 43 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Matthew Tafuri Turns in Season-Best Performance
Matthew Tafuri produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Delbarton to the win on Saturday. Tafuri picked up 154 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (16) he has had since back in October of 2023. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 80 yards.
Tafuri and Delbarton will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Bergen Catholic at 1:00 p.m. on October 19th. Tafuri will face off against Najee Calhoun, the Crusaders' star running back. Will the game be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Bryce Robbins Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Seton Hall Prep came up short on Saturday despite Bryce Robbins delivering his best game to date. Robbins rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Seton Hall Prep is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-4. Robbins and Seton Hall Prep will challenge Pope John XXIII at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Burress Posts Huge Game in 21-20 Win
DePaul Catholic picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Elijah Burress. Don Bosco Prep had no answer to Burress as he picked up 132 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
If the past is any indication, Burress could be in store for another big game when he takes on St. Peter's Prep on Saturday. Burress picked up 96 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Marauders duked it out back in September of 2023.
