Big Central - United Silver Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jack Dally Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Saturday, Governor Livingston got the W thanks in part to Jack Dally playing the best football he has all season. Dally's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 150 rushing yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Governor Livingston is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games, which provided a massive bump to their 3-4 record this season. Dally and Governor Livingston will challenge Bernards at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Lucciano Santamaria Has Career-Day on Saturday
Governor Livingston was led to victory by Lucciano Santamaria, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Santamaria rushed for 204 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
For the season, Santamaria has averaged 109.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had four rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to eight.

Dominic Massaro Puts an End to South Plainfield's Losing Streak on Friday
South Plainfield's three-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Dominic Massaro. New Brunswick had no answer to Massaro on Friday as he made three total tackles and defended two passes.

South Plainfield's win ended a six-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 2-5. Massaro and South Plainfield will head out on the road to take on South River at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
