2A Agua Fria 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!
Michael Anthony's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Cortez over Camp Verde
Starting off the list is Cortez's Michael Anthony, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Anthony rushed for 200 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.0 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 77-yard run.
Anthony must have Camp Verde's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Anthony rushed for 127 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries the last time he and the Cowboys duked it out back in October of 2023.

Joshua Mchale and Co. Win Third in a Row
Joshua Mchale's big game helped extend Glendale Prep Academy's winning streak to three on Friday. Mchale was unstoppable, throwing for 260 yards and four touchdowns while completing 76.2% of his passes, and also rushing for 41 yards and a touchdown. He has been hot recently, having posted four or more passing touchdowns the last three times he's played.
Highland Prep's probably not too fond of Mchale given he always seems to get the better of them. Mchale threw for 116 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Honey Badgers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Jamerrius Anthony Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Jamerrius Anthony posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Cortez over Camp Verde on Friday. Anthony rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 99 yards and a touchdown on only nine passes. His passing game has become a key predictor of Cortez's success: the team is 2-1 when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-3 otherwise.
On the year, Anthony has thrown those 1 touchdown (and no picks) while averaging 19 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 17.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 64.71 rushing yards.

A Season-Best Effort from Nathanael Kary Leads Glendale Prep Academy over Highland Prep
Glendale Prep Academy was led to victory by Nathanael Kary, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Kary rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 56 yards.
On the year, Kary has run in those 1 touchdown while averaging 26.3 rushing yards per game.

Dylan Lincoln Turns in Another Game with at Least 115 Receiving Yards
Dylan Lincoln produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Glendale Prep Academy to the win on Friday. Lincoln's receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 115 receiving yards.
Highland Prep's probably not too fond of Lincoln given he always seems to get the better of them. When Lincoln last faced the Honey Badgers back in October of 2023, he picked up 53 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
