Kappa 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!
Noah Tagaloa Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Segerstrom got the W thanks in part to Noah Tagaloa playing the best football he has all season. Tagaloa rushed for 172 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry, and also threw for 40 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Segerstrom pushed their record up to 4-2 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Tagaloa and Segerstrom will take on Esperanza at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Travis Frazier Goes Supernova in Esperanza Victory
Esperanza found a leader in Travis Frazier as the squad took down Garden Grove on Friday. Frazier was dynamite, throwing for 258 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.8 yards per attempt.
This year, Frazier has thrown 16 touchdowns while averaging 263.5 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 20.83 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 37.20
Nathan Aceves and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Nathan Aceves's big game helped extend Brea Olinda's winning streak to six on Friday. Westminster had no answer to Aceves as he rushed for 124 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 97 yards.
Westminster had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Aceves it was a similar story. Aceves rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Lions duked it out back in August of 2023.
Gamescore: 36.88
Elias Rodriguez Makes It Two for Esperanza
The second Esperanza player making an appearance here is Elias Rodriguez, and for good reason. He made three total tackles. He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 51 yards.
Gamescore: 33.98
Khutshivili Made His Presence Known in Esperanza's 42-6 Victory
Another Esperanza player making an appearance on this list is Edward Khutshivili. He picked up 68 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Esperanza's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
For the year, Khutshivili has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 84.5 receiving yards per game.
