Super - United White Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Pope John XXIII Gets a Boost from Hill in 35-34 Loss
Starting off the list is Pope John XXIII's Tylik Hill, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hill rushed for 243 yards and three touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 55 yards.
Hill is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Seton Hall Prep on Saturday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Hill saw Seton Hall Prep), he rushed for 221 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per carry.

Depaul Catholic Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Derek Zammit
Derek Zammit's big game helped extend DePaul Catholic's winning streak to six on Friday. Don Bosco Prep had no answer to Zammit as he threw for 216 yards and two touchdowns while completing 73.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 46 yards.
Zammit and DePaul Catholic will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on St. Peter's Prep at 6:30 p.m. on October 17th. The last time Zammit took on the Marauders, he threw for 240 yards while completing 84.6% of his passes, and also rushed for 43 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

A Season-Best Effort from Matthew Tafuri Leads Delbarton over Pope John XXIII
Delbarton was led to victory by Matthew Tafuri, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Tafuri picked up 154 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (16) he has had since back in October of 2023. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 80 yards.
Tafuri and Delbarton will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Bergen Catholic at 1:00 p.m. on October 19th. Tafuri will face off against Najee Calhoun, the Crusaders' star rusher. Will the matchup be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Bryce Robbins Has Career Rushing Day
Sadly, Bryce Robbins posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Seton Hall Prep over St. Peter's Prep on Saturday. Robbins rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Seton Hall Prep is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-4. Robbins and Seton Hall Prep will face off against Pope John XXIII at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Burress Posts Huge Game in 21-20 Win
DePaul Catholic picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Elijah Burress. Burress was unstoppable, picking up 132 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
If history really does repeat itself, Burress might just drop another big game when he faces off against St. Peter's Prep on Saturday. Burress picked up 96 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Marauders duked it out back in September of 2023.
