Santa Teresa - Foothill Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Schwoob Came Up Big in Del Mar's 34-20 Loss
Starting off the list is Del Mar's Jake Schwoob, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Schwoob rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 54 receiving yards. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble, made ten total tackles, and defended a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
This season, Schwoob has averaged 34.5 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 8.75 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 98.38 rushing yards.

A Season-Best Effort from Alex Solarez Leads Piedmont Hills over Silver Creek
On Friday, Piedmont Hills got the W thanks in part to Alex Solarez playing the best football he has all season. Solarez picked up 110 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 56 yards. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 69 yards.
Solarez and Piedmont Hills will be playing in front of their home fans against Del Mar at 7:15 p.m. on Friday. Solarez will face off against Jake Schwoob, the Dons' star rusher. Will the matchup be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Piedmont Hills was led to victory by Zachary Pallach, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Pallach picked up 115 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 53 yards.
Unfortunately for Silver Creek, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Pallach. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Pallach saw the Raiders), he threw for 250 yards and three touchdowns.
