Desert Empire 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!
Williams Came Up Big in Rancho Mirage's 42-28 Defeat
Rancho Mirage was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Jeremiah Williams did his best to prevent it. Williams turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 93 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, while also picking up 42 receiving yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
La Quinta's probably not too fond of Williams given he always seems to get the better of them. When Williams last faced the Blackhawks back in October of 2023, he rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns.

A Season-Best Performance from Jackson Bishop Leads Palm Desert over Shadow Hills
On Thursday, Palm Desert got the W thanks in part to Jackson Bishop playing the best football he has all season. Bishop wasn't messing around, picking up five sacks and making seven total tackles (7.0 for loss). The game was his 18th straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Bishop is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Palm Springs on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Bishop saw the Indians), he picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
