2A Agua Fria 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!
Jamerrius Anthony Goes Supernova in Cortez Defeat
Starting off the list is Cortez's Jamerrius Anthony, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Anthony rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 51 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
This season, Anthony has thrown 1 touchdown (and no picks) while averaging 19.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 18.88 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 71.38 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 42.10
Michael Anthony Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Another Cortez player making an appearance on this list is Michael Anthony. He rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (100.2). He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made nine total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Anthony is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Kingman Academy on Friday. When Anthony last faced the Tigers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 174 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry.

Calini Came Up Big in Highland Prep's 28-16 Loss
While Aeden Calini delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Highland Prep. Kingman Academy had no answer to Calini as he picked up 107 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Calini has become a key player for Highland Prep: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Calini must have Kingman Academy's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Calini last faced the Tigers back in October of 2023, he picked up 175 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 38.02
Z'yeon Rondan's Big Game Leads Phoenix Christian over Cortez
Phoenix Christian picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Z'Yeon Rondan. Nobody could stop Rondan as he rushed for 142 yards and three touchdowns.
If history really does repeat itself, Rondan might just drop another big game when he faces off against Mountainside on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Rondan saw the Wolves), he rushed for 49 yards and three touchdowns.
Gamescore: 37.65
A Season-Best Effort from Liam Coye Leads Highland Prep over Kingman Academy
Highland Prep came up short on Friday despite Liam Coye delivering his best game to date. Coye wasn't messing around, making 19 total tackles (2.0 for loss). The match was his fifth straight with eight or more total tackles.
For the year, Coye has averaged 10.5 total tackles per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 4.38 total tackles per game.
