Gateway 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!
Darrell Frazier Has Career-Day on Friday
Starting off the list is Dominguez's Darrell Frazier, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Frazier picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made eight total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 78-yard run.
Dominguez is on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-7. Their road trip will continue as they head out to face Bellflower at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Rios As Downey Won 27-7
Oscar Rios was instrumental in extending Downey's winning streak to four on Friday. Rios turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 49 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 228 yards and a touchdown while completing 73.3% of his passes.
Rios might have his next game, a road matchup with Mayfair, circled on his calendar. Rios threw for 203 yards and two touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown on only five carries the last time he and the Monsoons duked it out back in October of 2023.

Louis Johnson's Big Game Leads Mayfair over Dominguez
Louis Johnson's big game helped extend Mayfair's winning streak to four on Friday. Johnson was dynamite, rushing for 100 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 100 rushing yards.
Johnson and Mayfair will head out to face off against Downey at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Johnson will face off against Bernardo Blanco, the Vikings' star running back. Will the match be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Aiden Gomez Makes It Two for Downey
The second Downey player making an appearance here is Aiden Gomez, and for good reason. He picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made 17 total tackles.
This year, Gomez has averaged 10 total tackles per game and for the season has 5 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging six total tackles per game.

Lauago Made His Presence Known in La Mirada's 20-6 Win
Rounding off our Top Five is Jordan Lauago of La Mirada. Lauago rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown on only five carries, and also picked up 55 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Lauago and La Mirada will welcome Warren at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Lauago took on the Bears, he picked up 103 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
