Almont Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Elias Navarro Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Thursday, Schurr got the W thanks in part to Elias Navarro playing the best football he has all season. Navarro rushed for 186 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.9 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (105). The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Navarro is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Montebello on Friday. When Navarro last faced the Oilers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 174 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 49 receiving yards.

For the season, Alvarado has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 109.4 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 11.75 passing yards per game.

On the season, Cortez has averaged 8.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging five total tackles per game.

Daniel Tovar Goes Supernova in Bell Gardens Win
Daniel Tovar put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 83 yards and two touchdowns.
