West Catholic 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Kingston Keanaaina Leads Saint Francis over Archbishop Mitty
On Friday, Saint Francis got the W thanks in part to Kingston Keanaaina playing the best football he has all season. Keanaaina rushed for 313 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.4 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.
Keanaaina must have Archbishop Mitty's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Keanaaina last faced the Monarchs back in September of 2023, he rushed for 167 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 carries.
