Angelus 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!
Jaden Jefferson Dazzles in Cathedral Win
Starting off the list is Cathedral's Jaden Jefferson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jefferson threw for 341 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 14.8 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 49 yards. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Jefferson's next contest is against St. Pius X-St. Matthias Academy on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort. Jefferson will face off against Jassi Williams on Friday, the Warriors' star quarterback. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Marley Luatua's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his third-straight game with 102+ rushing yards. He rushed for 142 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
St. Paul now has a winning record of 4-3. Luatua and St. Paul will be playing in front of their home fans against Bishop Alemany at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
