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!
Kingston Keanaaina Dazzles in Saint Francis Win
Starting off the list is Saint Francis's Kingston Keanaaina, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Keanaaina rushed for 212 yards and two touchdowns. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Keanaaina might have his next game, a road matchup with Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Keanaaina saw the Fightin' Irish), he rushed for 249 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.4 yards per carry.

Marcel Leggett and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Marcel Leggett's big game helped extend Valley Christian's winning streak to four on Friday. Leggett's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 115 rushing yards.
This season, Leggett has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 107.4 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 55.71 rushing yards per game.

A Season-Best Effort from Corban Bixby Leads Valley Christian over Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory

On the year, Bixby has averaged 8.6 total tackles per game and for the season has 2 sacks.
