Mesquite 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Miles Omalley Leads Maranatha over Linfield Christian
On Friday, Maranatha had to settle for second even though Miles Omalley put up the best numbers he has all season. Omalley rushed for 251 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 13.9 yards per carry, and also picked up 44 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
If the past is any indication, Omalley could be in store for another big game when he takes on Western Christian on Friday. Omalley rushed for 235 yards and five touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also caught a touchdown the last time he and the Fighting Lancers duked it out back in September of 2023.

Isaiah Ramirez's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Isaiah Ramirez posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he posted at least 105 rushing yards in the third games prior. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble, making seven total tackles (0.5 for loss), and defending a pass.
The victory (which was Big Bear's fourth in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Ramirez and Big Bear will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Linfield Christian at 1:30 p.m. on October 19th.
Gamescore: 47.45
Micah Little produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Linfield Christian to the win on Friday. Little rushed for 159 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
For the year, Little has run in 8 touchdowns while averaging 57.8 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 1.2 rushing yards per game.
