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!
Elijah Ayala Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, San Juan Hills got the W thanks in part to Elijah Ayala playing the best football he has all season. Ayala rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 73 yards.
The win was the third in a row for San Juan Hills, bringing their record for this year to 5-1. Ayala and San Juan Hills will take on Yorba Linda at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Brady Annett Has Career Rushing Day
Sadly, Brady Annett posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Corona del Mar over San Juan Hills on Friday. Annett rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also threw for 162 yards and a touchdown while completing 83.3% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Corona del Mar has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season. Annett and Corona del Mar will take on Newport Harbor at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
