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!
Davian Stephenson Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Chowchilla got the W thanks in part to Davian Stephenson playing the best football he has all season. Stephenson rushed for 290 yards and five touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 87 yards and a touchdown while completing 85.7% of his passes. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (100.7). He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 66 yards.
Chowchilla's victory was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Stephenson and Chowchilla will be playing in front of their home fans against Minarets at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Talan Lamattina Leads Liberty over Minarets
Liberty was led to victory by Talan Lamattina, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Lamattina rushed for 142 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.9 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making 12 total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Minarets's probably not too fond of Lamattina given he always seems to get the better of them. When Lamattina last faced the Mustangs back in October of 2023, he rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.

Xaidyn Camacho Has Career-Day on Friday
On Friday, Riverdale got the W thanks in part to Xaidyn Camacho playing the best football he has all season. Camacho rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 146 yards and a touchdown on only 12 passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Yosemite had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Camacho it was a similar story. Camacho rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 82 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Badgers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Smith Made His Presence Known in Fowler's 55-29 Loss
While Fowler might've come up empty on Friday, Jerod "Bubba" Smith wasn't going down without a fight. Smith was dynamite, throwing for 396 yards and four touchdowns.
Smith and Fowler will take on Riverdale at 7:15 p.m. on Friday. Smith will face off against Xaidyn Camacho, the Cowboys' star quarterback. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
