Valley Mission 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!
Diego Montes Dazzles in Kennedy Win
Starting off the list is Kennedy's Diego Montes, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Montes threw for 324 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes, and also rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.
Canoga Park's probably not too fond of Montes given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Montes saw the Hunters), he rushed for 56 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 98 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.
Gamescore: 68.20
Mcdonald Posts Huge Game in 23-22 Victory
Jacob Mcdonald put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns while completing 72% of his passes, and also rushed for 82 yards on only ten carries.
The win was the fourth in a row for Sylmar, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. Mcdonald and Sylmar will challenge Kennedy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 33.37
Martin Trujillo Makes It Two for Kennedy
Another Kennedy player making an appearance on this list is Martin Trujillo. He picked up a sack and made eight total tackles.
This year, Trujillo has averaged 6 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 7.29 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 20.86 rushing yards.
