Central Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Brodie Stump Goes Supernova in Kearny Win
Starting off the list is Kearny's Brodie Stump, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Stump threw for 284 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.
If history really does repeat itself, Stump might just drop another big game when he faces off against Canyon Hills on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Stump saw the Rattlers ), he threw for 469 yards and four touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.

He's now once again averaging 100+ receiving yards (101.5) per game. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 57 yards.
