Moore 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!
Casillas Came Up Big in Lakewood's 49-0 Victory
Starting off the list is Lakewood's Kade Casillas, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Casillas threw for 251 yards and two touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes, and also rushed for 33 yards and a touchdown.
Casillas might have his next game, a road matchup with Jordan, circled on his calendar. When Casillas last faced the Panthers back in September of 2023, he threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also rushed for 61 yards on only six carries.

Millikan Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Anthony League

On the year, League has averaged 31 receiving yards per game.

Nytrell Miller Turns in Season-Best Effort
Lakewood was led to victory by Nytrell Miller, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Miller rushed for 37 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 31 receiving yards.
If the past is any indication, Miller could be in store for another big game when he takes on Jordan on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Miller saw the Panthers), he rushed for 139 yards on only 13 carries.

Xavier Jones Makes It Two for Millikan
The second Millikan player making an appearance here is Xavier Jones, and for good reason. He picked up 69 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 33 yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Jones has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 29.9 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 16.71 receiving yards per game.

A Season-Best Performance from Kaelib Verduzco Leads Lakewood over Cabrillo
Lakewood was led to victory by Kaelib Verduzco, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Verduzco picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made six total tackles.
If history really does repeat itself, Verduzco might just drop another big game when he faces off against Jordan on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Verduzco saw the Panthers), he picked up two sacks and made seven total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
