Golden Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Quartz Hill Gets a Boost from Graham in 49-0 Victory
Starting off the list is Quartz Hill's Jaden Graham, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Graham rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. He is becoming a predictor of Quartz Hill's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
Graham and Quartz Hill will face off against Eastside at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Graham took on the Lions, he rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Gavin Houston posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 221 yards while picking up 9.2 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 107 rushing yards dating back to last season.
With the loss, Antelope Valley broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 3-4. Houston and Antelope Valley will stay at home for another week and welcome Highland at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Carrillo As Highland Won 84-0
Jayden Carrillo was instrumental in extending Highland's winning streak to four on Friday. Nobody could stop Carrillo as he picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made 13 total tackles (3.0 for loss). He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
For the year, Carrillo has averaged 9.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 7 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 6.14 total tackles per game.
