Conejo Coast 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!
Kayne Miller Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Calabasas's Kayne Miller, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Miller rushed for 222 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.1 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (101.6). The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Miller and Calabasas will host Rio Mesa at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Miller up against the Spartans' star running back Isaiah Bautista. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Jackson Taylor Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Thousand Oaks had to settle for second even though Jackson Taylor put up the best numbers he has all season. Taylor threw for 356 yards and six touchdowns while completing 73% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Thousand Oaks is undefeated when Taylor posts 250 or more passing yards, but 2-3 otherwise.
Taylor and Thousand Oaks will face off against Newbury Park at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Lancers had to take a loss when they last met the Panthers, but Taylor had little to do with the loss: he threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Smigiel Came Up Big in Newbury Park's 45-3 Victory
Brady Smigiel was instrumental in extending Newbury Park's winning streak to eight on Friday. Smigiel turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 290 yards and five touchdowns while completing 76.9% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Smigiel and Newbury Park will be playing in front of their home fans against Thousand Oaks at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Smigiel up against the Lancers' star signal caller Jackson Taylor. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

A Season-Best Performance from Shane Rosenthal Leads Newbury Park over Westlake
Newbury Park was led to victory by Shane Rosenthal, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Rosenthal picked up 199 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 82 yards.
Rosenthal and Newbury Park will square off against Thousand Oaks at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Rosenthal will face off against Hayden Vercher, the Lancers' star WR. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
