District 5 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Matthew Moret Leads Mount Vernon over Falls Church
On Thursday, Mount Vernon got the W thanks in part to Matthew Moret playing the best football he has all season. Moret picked up 131 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 81 yards and a touchdown.
Moret must have Falls Church's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Moret picked up 97 receiving yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Jaguars duked it out back in October of 2023.

Thomas Jefferson Science & Technology was sadly handed a loss on Thursday, but Andrew Haydon did his best to prevent it. Lewis had no answer to Haydon as he made four total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Thomas Jefferson Science & Technology's defeat dropped their record down to 2-4. Haydon and Thomas Jefferson Science & Technology will face off against Digital Pioneers Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Abdul Bundu Makes It Two for Thomas Jefferson Science & Technology
Keeping Haydon company is Abdul Bundu, a fellow Thomas Jefferson Science & Technology player. He rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 121 rushing yards dating back to last season.
For the year, Bundu has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 114.2 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown.

Fuentes Posts Huge Game in 42-7 Victory
Another Mount Vernon player making an appearance on this list is Antoni Fuentes. He rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Fuentes has averaged 19.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to six.
Gamescore: 26.18
Another Mount Vernon player making an appearance on this list is Hudson Grimsley. He threw for 189 yards and two touchdowns on only 16 passes.
Falls Church's probably not too fond of Grimsley given he always seems to get the better of them. When Grimsley last faced the Jaguars back in October of 2023, he threw for 149 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 38 yards and a touchdown.
