Montview 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!
Dominic Ezeonye Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Wilson got the W thanks in part to Dominic Ezeonye playing the best football he has all season. Ezeonye rushed for 244 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.1 yards per carry. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August of 2023. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 126 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Ezeonye might just drop another big game when he faces off against Sierra Vista on Friday. When Ezeonye last faced the Dons back in October of 2023, he rushed for 168 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 carries.

Nogales had to settle for second on Friday, but Tyler Lewis sure wasn't going down easily. Lewis was unstoppable, throwing for 365 yards and four touchdowns, while also punching in a rushing score.
Nogales now has a losing record at 3-4. Lewis and Nogales will square off against Pomona at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Big Game from Catarino As Wilson Won 52-36
Rene Catarino was instrumental in extending Wilson's winning streak to six on Friday. Nogales had no answer to Catarino as he picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made nine total tackles. The dominant performance also gave Catarino a new career-high in rushing yards.
This year, Catarino has averaged 6.8 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 sacks.
Gamescore: 32.18
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Samuel Abajuo stepped things up a notch to give Ontario the 'W'. Abajuo was dynamite, rushing for 131 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 85 yards.
Ontario's victory ended an eight-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 2-5. Abajuo and Ontario will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Nogales at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

Orlando Zamora Makes It Two for Nogales
Another Nogales player making an appearance on this list is Orlando Zamora. He rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, and also picked up 42 receiving yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 50 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
