Isaiah Ocampo Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Socorro's Isaiah Ocampo, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ocampo threw for 174 yards and five touchdowns, and also rushed for 87 yards. He didn't just play on offense: he also made three total tackles and defended a pass in addition to snagging two interceptions which he returned for a touchdown.
Socorro pushed their record up to 6-2 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Ocampo and Socorro will venture away from home to take on Ruidoso at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Omar Loya Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Dexter got the W thanks in part to Omar Loya playing the best football he has all season. Loya rushed for 168 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also caught a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 63 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory for Dexter keeps them at an undefeated 9-0. Loya and Dexter will face off against Hatch Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Tomasits Made His Presence Known in New Mexico Military Institute's 45-13 Win
Cohen Tomasits was a major factor in New Mexico Military Institute's victory over Ruidoso on Friday. Tomasits did his part (and then some), rushing for 75 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries for the 'W'. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making three total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Unfortunately for Ruidoso, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Tomasits. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Tomasits saw the Warriors), he rushed for 42 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 64 receiving yards and a touchdown.
