Coliseum 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!
King/Drew Gets a Boost from Jackson in 48-12 Victory
Starting off the list is King/Drew's Keenan Jackson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jackson threw for 150 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 42 yards and a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of King/Drew's success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Jackson and King/Drew will square off against Dymally at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Golden Eagles got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Challengers, probably because Jackson had a solid game then too: he rushed for 40 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Tolson Posts Huge Game in 33-0 Win
Dorsey found a leader in Brandon Tolson as the squad took down Fremont on Friday. Tolson was dynamite, throwing for 206 yards and four touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.
This season, Tolson has thrown 13 touchdowns while averaging 171.5 passing yards per game.

Anthony Torrence Delivers Electric Performance Vs George Washington Prep
Anthony Torrence posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He made ten total tackles (3.0 for loss).
This year, Torrence has averaged 8.5 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging eight rushing yards.

Deuce Johnson Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Dorsey got the W thanks in part to Deuce Johnson playing the best football he has all season. Johnson picked up 148 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 63 yards.
For the year, Johnson has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 64.7 receiving yards per game.

Big Game from Onyeagoro As King/Drew Won 48-12
Another King/Drew player making an appearance on this list is Chinedu Onyeagoro. He picked up two sacks, made six total tackles, and defended a pass.
Onyeagoro might have his next game, a home matchup with Dymally, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Onyeagoro saw the Challengers), he picked up four sacks, forced a fumble, and made 12 total tackles (5.0 for loss).
