Lynnden Hodge's Big Game Leads Buena Park over University
Starting off the list is Buena Park's Lynnden Hodge, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hodge rushed for 218 yards and a touchdown while picking up 12.1 yards per carry, and also picked up 74 receiving yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 131 rushing yards.
The win (which was Buena Park's third in a row) raised their record to 4-3. Hodge and Buena Park will take on Pacifica at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Addison Adams was a major factor in Pacifica's victory over Woodbridge on Friday. Adams did his part (and then some), making three total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass for the 'W'. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making three total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
The win made it two in a row for Pacifica and bumps their season record up to 3-4. Adams and Pacifica will head out to take on Buena Park at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

University Gets a Boost from Oldham in 15-7 Defeat
While University might've come up empty on Friday, Carl Oldham wasn't going down without a fight. Oldham turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 107 receiving yards and a touchdown. University is 3-1 when Oldham posts 80 or more receiving yards, but 0-3 otherwise.
On the season, Oldham has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 85.3 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 3.43 receiving yards per game.

A Season-Best Effort from Joshua Whang Leads Portola over Katella
On Friday, Portola got the W thanks in part to Joshua Whang playing the best football he has all season. Whang rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown, and also caught a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 58 yards.
Portola's victory ended a six-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 2-5. Whang and Portola will take on University at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
