Evan Moreno's Big Game Leads Robinson over Connally
Starting off the list is Robinson's Evan Moreno, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Moreno rushed for 188 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
The win was the fourth in a row for Robinson, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Moreno and Robinson will be playing at home against La Vega at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Vincent As Connally Fell 42-29
Connally was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Jamarion Vincent did his best to prevent it. Vincent was unstoppable, throwing for 178 yards and two touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also rushing for 62 yards and a touchdown.
This season, Vincent has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 77.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 40.86 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 100.29 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 32.62
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Jaxon Blancett stepped things up a notch to give Lorena the 'W'. Blancett turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 87 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 259 yards on 19 of 30 attempts.
For the season, Blancett has averaged 111.6 passing yards per game.
