Central 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!
Stump Made His Presence Known in Kearny's 56-16 Victory
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 380 yards and six touchdowns while completing 78.4% of his passes.
Unfortunately for Clairemont, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Stump. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Stump saw the Chieftains), he threw for 448 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 47 yards.

Hoover Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Cooper Woodhall
Cooper Woodhall's big game helped extend Hoover's winning streak to four on Friday. Coronado had no answer to Woodhall as he picked up 68 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Hoover has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games, which provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. Woodhall will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Canyon Hills on Friday.

Zaiden Gravely Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Kearny got the W thanks in part to Zaiden Gravely playing the best football he has all season. Gravely picked up 184 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
This season, Gravely has caught 11 touchdowns while averaging 133.4 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had four receiving touchdowns.

Autry Posts Huge Game in 42-32 Win
Another Hoover player making an appearance on this list is Sir Autry. He rushed for 192 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.7 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his eighth straight game with at least 134 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Autry might just drop another big game when he faces off against Canyon Hills on Friday. Autry rushed for 322 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 13.4 yards per carry the last time he and the Rattlers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Jaylen Hill Delivers Best Effort of Season

He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making two total tackles.
For the year, Hill has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 39.6 receiving yards per game.
