Central 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!
Big Game from Stump As Kearny Won 56-16
Starting off the list is Kearny's Brodie Stump, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Stump threw for 380 yards and six touchdowns while completing 78.4% of his passes.
Clairemont's probably not too fond of Stump given he always seems to get the better of them. Stump threw for 448 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 47 yards the last time he and the Chieftains duked it out back in October of 2023.

Hoover Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Cooper Woodhall
Hoover picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Cooper Woodhall. Woodhall was dynamite, picking up 68 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Hoover has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games, which provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. Woodhall and Hoover will head out on the road to square off against Canyon Hills at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Zaiden Gravely Leads Kearny over Clairemont
Kearny was led to victory by Zaiden Gravely, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Gravely picked up 184 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
On the year, Gravely has caught 11 touchdowns while averaging 133.4 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he had four receiving touchdowns.

Autry Came Up Big in Hoover's 42-32 Victory
Another Hoover player making an appearance on this list is Sir Autry. He rushed for 192 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.7 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his eighth straight game with at least 134 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Autry might just drop another big game when he faces off against Canyon Hills on Friday. When Autry last faced the Rattlers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 322 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 13.4 yards per carry.
