Greater Sacramento League Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Aubrey Stewart Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Thursday, Fairfield got the W thanks in part to Aubrey Stewart playing the best football she has all season. Stewart rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of her passes. The performance marked the most rushing yards she has had since back in September. She has become a key player for Fairfield: the team is undefeated when she posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 3-4 otherwise.
Unfortunately for Burbank, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Stewart. Stewart rushed for 127 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 183 yards and two touchdowns the last time she and the Titans duked it out back in September.

A Season-Best Performance from Sariah Williams Leads Fairfield over Burbank
Fairfield was led to victory by Sariah Williams, who turned in her biggest game of the season on Thursday. Williams rushed for 140 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also picked up 76 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The effort marked the most rushing yards she has had since back in August. She showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 65 yards.
Williams is probably looking forward to her next game, a road matchup against Johnson on Thursday. When Williams last faced the Warriors back in September, she rushed for 97 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Deyonce Espinal stepped things up a notch to give Valley the 'W'. West Campus had no answer to Espinal as she made two total tackles and defended two passes. Espinal also punched in two rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Valley is 3-1 when she posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 5-6 otherwise.
West Campus had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Espinal it was a similar story. Back in September (the last time Espinal saw the Warriors), she made a tackle and snagged four interceptions.

On the year, Foster has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 25.2 receiving yards per game.
