Almont 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Elias Navarro Leads Schurr over Alhambra
Elias Navarro produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Schurr to the win on Thursday. Navarro rushed for 186 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.9 yards per carry. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (105) per game. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Navarro is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Montebello on Friday. Navarro rushed for 174 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 49 receiving yards the last time he and the Oilers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Joseph Alvarado Turns in Season-Best Performance
Joseph Alvarado produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Schurr to the win on Thursday. Alvarado threw for 200 yards and three touchdowns on only 17 passes.
This season, Alvarado has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 109.4 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 13 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 22.13 rushing yards.

Matthew Cortez Turns in Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles
Montebello came up short on Friday despite Matthew Cortez delivering his best game to date. Cortez wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks, forcing a fumble, and making nine total tackles. The matchup was his eighth straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season. He is becoming a predictor of Montebello's success: when he posts at least two sacks the team is 2-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
For the season, Cortez has averaged 8.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he had one sack.

Daniel Tovar Goes Supernova in Bell Gardens Victory
Daniel Tovar put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 83 yards and two touchdowns.
Tovar is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Mark Keppel on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Tovar saw the Aztecs), he rushed for 54 yards and two touchdowns.
