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!
Darien Rogers and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Cypress Woods picked up their sixth consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Darien Rogers. Langham Creek had no answer to Rogers as he threw for 301 yards and four touchdowns while completing 73.1% of his passes.
For the year, Rogers has thrown 17 touchdowns (and no picks) while averaging 220 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.8 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 37 rushing yards.

Cypress Lakes was led to victory by Kahlil Costello, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday.

Ty Cogdill Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Thursday, Cypress Woods got the W thanks in part to Ty Cogdill playing the best football he has all season. Cogdill picked up 94 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Cogdill must have Langham Creek's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Cogdill picked up 123 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Lobos duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 27.90
Melvin Jr Posts Huge Game in 18-6 Loss
Rounding off our Top Five is Paris Melvin Jr of Cypress Springs. Melvin Jr rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 42 receiving yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making two total tackles and defending two passes.
Melvin Jr and Cypress Springs will head out on the road to challenge Langham Creek at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. Melvin Jr will face off against Aiden Teran, the Lobos' star WR. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
