5A Southern 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!
Andres Bonilla Dazzles in Buena Victory
Starting off the list is Buena's Andres Bonilla, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Bonilla rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win (which was Buena's third in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Bonilla and Buena will take on Marana at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Moore As Buena Won 70-0
Keeping Bonilla company is Nash Moore, a fellow Buena player. He rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 93 yards and two touchdowns. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 81-yard run.
For the year, Moore has thrown 23 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 200.7 passing yards per game.

A Season-Best Effort from Greg Webb Leads Marana over Cienega
On Friday, Marana got the W thanks in part to Greg Webb playing the best football he has all season. Webb wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks, making 11 total tackles (4.0 for loss), and defending a pass. The contest was his fifth straight with five or more total tackles.
The win for Marana keeps them at an undefeated 8-0. Webb and Marana will be playing in front of their home fans against Buena at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Casa Grande's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Luke Keeton
Casa Grande's three-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Luke Keeton. Nobody could stop Keeton on Friday as he threw for 339 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per attempt, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Casa Grande is 4-1 when Keeton posts three or more passing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Casa Grande's win bumped their record up to 5-3. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cougars dukes it out withDesert View at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
