Moore 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!
Casillas Posts Huge Game in 49-0 Win
Starting off the list is Lakewood's Kade Casillas, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Casillas threw for 251 yards and two touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes, and also rushed for 33 yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Casillas might just drop another big game when he faces off against Jordan on Friday. When Casillas last faced the Panthers back in September of 2023, he threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also rushed for 61 yards on only six carries.

Anthony League and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Millikan picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Anthony League. League turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 74 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries.
For the year, League has averaged 31 receiving yards per game.

Nytrell Miller Delivers Best Effort of Season
Nytrell Miller produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Lakewood to the win on Friday. Miller rushed for 37 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 31 receiving yards.
Miller might have his next game, a road matchup with Jordan, circled on his calendar. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Miller saw the Panthers), he rushed for 139 yards on only 13 carries.

Xavier Jones Makes It Two for Millikan
