4A East Sky 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!
Aiden Deleon Goes Supernova in Apache Junction Loss
Starting off the list is Apache Junction's Aiden Deleon, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Deleon rushed for 160 yards on only ten carries, and also threw for 180 yards and a touchdown on only 15 passes. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 96 yards.
Marcos de Niza's probably not too fond of Deleon given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Deleon saw the Padres), he rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 213 yards and a touchdown.
