Mesquite 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!
Miles Omalley Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Miles Omalley posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Maranatha over Linfield Christian on Friday. Omalley rushed for 251 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 13.9 yards per carry, and also picked up 44 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 71 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Omalley might just drop another big game when he faces off against Western Christian on Friday. When Omalley last faced the Fighting Lancers back in September of 2023, he rushed for 235 yards and five touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also caught a touchdown.
Gamescore: 71.65
Isaiah Ramirez Has Career-Day on Friday
Isaiah Ramirez posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he posted at least 105 rushing yards in the third games prior. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble, making seven total tackles (0.5 for loss), and defending a pass.
The win (which was Big Bear's fourth in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Ramirez and Big Bear will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Linfield Christian at 1:30 p.m. on October 19th.
Gamescore: 47.45
On Friday, Linfield Christian got the W thanks in part to Micah Little playing the best football he has all season. Little rushed for 159 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Little has run in 8 touchdowns while averaging 57.8 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 1.2 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 44.20
