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. Keanaaina rushed for 249 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.4 yards per carry the last time he and the Fightin' Irish duked it out back in October of 2023.

Hicks made seven total tackles (3.0 for loss) and defended four passes. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 5.1 total tackles per game. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
With the defeat, St. Ignatius College Preparatory broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 5-2. Hicks and St. Ignatius College Preparatory will be playing in front of their home fans against Valley Christian at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
