Super - United White Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Hill Came Up Big in Pope John XXIII's 35-34 Loss
Starting off the list is Pope John XXIII's Tylik Hill, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hill rushed for 243 yards and three touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 55 yards.
Hill is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Seton Hall Prep on Saturday. Hill rushed for 221 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per carry the last time he and Seton Hall Prep duked it out back in September of 2023.

Depaul Catholic Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Derek Zammit
Derek Zammit's big game helped extend DePaul Catholic's winning streak to six on Friday. Zammit was unstoppable, throwing for 216 yards and two touchdowns while completing 73.7% of his passes, and also rushing for 46 yards.
Zammit and DePaul Catholic will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against St. Peter's Prep at 6:30 p.m. on October 17th. The Spartans got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Marauders, probably because Zammit had a solid game then too: he threw for 240 yards while completing 84.6% of his passes, and also rushed for 43 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Matthew Tafuri Turns in Season-Best Effort
Matthew Tafuri produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Delbarton to the win on Saturday. Tafuri picked up 154 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (16) he has had since back in October of 2023. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 80 yards.
Tafuri and Delbarton will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Bergen Catholic at 1:00 p.m. on October 19th. The match will pit Tafuri up against the Crusaders' star RB Najee Calhoun. Will the game be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Bryce Robbins Has Career Rushing Day
Sadly, Bryce Robbins posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Seton Hall Prep over St. Peter's Prep on Saturday. Robbins rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Seton Hall Prep is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-4. Robbins and Seton Hall Prep will challenge Pope John XXIII at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Burress Posts Huge Game in 21-20 Win
DePaul Catholic picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Elijah Burress. Burress was unstoppable, picking up 132 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
If history really does repeat itself, Burress might just drop another big game when he faces off against St. Peter's Prep on Saturday. When Burress last faced the Marauders back in September of 2023, he picked up 96 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
