Crossroads 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!
Tellado Made His Presence Known in St. Michael the Archangel's 30-20 Victory
Starting off the list is St. Michael the Archangel's Luis Tellado, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tellado rushed for 127 yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 101 rushing yards dating back to last season.
The win got St. Michael the Archangel back to even at 3-3. Tellado and St. Michael the Archangel are taking a road trip to face off against University Academy Charter at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Gamescore: 33.80
Gage Burgess Makes It Two for St. Michael the Archangel
Keeping Tellado company is Gage Burgess, a fellow St. Michael the Archangel player. He rushed for 126 yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of St. Michael the Archangel's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
For the year, Burgess has averaged 92.8 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 28.17
Ward Posts Huge Game in 24-21 Victory
Summit Christian Academy took down University Academy Charter/Kauffman on Friday, a win that might not have happened without Michael Ward's performance. Ward did his part (and then some), rushing for 93 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 155 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
It'll be Battle of the Birds when Eagles takes on Van Horn at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Ward took on the Falcons, he threw for 237 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 27.83
A Season-Best Effort from Kaleb Williams Leads Summit Christian Academy over University Academy Charter/Kauffman
On Friday, Summit Christian Academy got the W thanks in part to Kaleb Williams playing the best football he has all season. Williams wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks and making eight total tackles (4.0 for loss). The contest was his third straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
For the year, Williams has averaged 4.3 total tackles per game and for the season has those 2 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 2.17 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 25.75

Collin Stanfield continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his ninth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least six total tackles. He made 14 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
This season, Stanfield has averaged 10.7 total tackles per game.
