Del Rio 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!
Andrew Lopez Delivers Best Performance of Season
Andrew Lopez produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Santa Fe to the win on Friday. Lopez rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 73 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 64 yards.
Santa Fe is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Lopez and Santa Fe will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Whittier at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
