Danielle Morales' Big Game Leads Arbor View over Coronado
Starting off the list is Arbor View's Danielle Morales, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Morales made five total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended two passes in addition to snagging two interceptions. She also deserves a shoutout for her performance on D, making five total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending two passes in addition to snagging two interceptions.
The victory (which was Arbor View's third in a row) raised their record to 11-7. Morales and Arbor View will square off against Rancho at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Derriah Wren Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Mojave got the W thanks in part to Derriah Wren playing the best football she has all season. Wren rushed for 195 yards and one touchdown on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Her longest rush was for an impressive 61 yards, which helps to explain her lofty yards per carry total.
Mojave pushed their record up to 11-3 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Wren and Mojave will head out to face off against Basic at 2:00 p.m. on Monday.
