Angelus Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Jaden Jefferson Dazzles in Cathedral Win
Starting off the list is Cathedral's Jaden Jefferson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jefferson threw for 226 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 71 yards on only six carries.
Jefferson must have Bishop Alemany's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Jefferson saw the Warriors), he threw for 202 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.
