Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Friday through Sunday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Tommy Digregorio Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, St. Joseph-by-the-Sea got the W thanks in part to Tommy Digregorio playing the best football he has all season. Digregorio rushed for 273 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.0 yards per carry. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (100.3) per game. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
St. Joseph-by-the-Sea is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Digregorio and St. Joseph-by-the-Sea will square off against Kennedy Catholic at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
