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!
Jaxon Garcia Goes Supernova in Falfurrias Win
Thanks in part to Jaxon Garcia, Falfurrias said goodbye to their five-game losing streak. Garcia was unstoppable on Friday, rushing for 64 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, while also throwing for 150 yards and a touchdown. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
This season, Garcia has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 121.7 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 12 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 32.57 rushing yards.

Ronnie White and Co. Win Third in a Row
San Diego picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Ronnie White. Nobody could stop White as he picked up 85 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made two total tackles.
San Diego is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. White and San Diego will look to defend their home field on Friday against Bishop at 7:00 p.m.
