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!
Josh Encinas Goes Supernova in South Win
Starting off the list is South's Josh Encinas, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Encinas threw for 188 yards and two touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
The victory was the fifth in a row for South, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Encinas and South will play host again on Friday to welcome Mira Monte, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:30 p.m.
Gamescore: 30.93
Tehachapi found a leader in Andrew Aguirre as the team took down North on Friday. Aguirre was unstoppable, rushing for 35 yards and a touchdown.
Tehachapi pushed their record up to 5-2 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. They and West are set to duel on Friday.

Hasley Made His Presence Known in South's 34-14 Victory
South picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Gyrell Hasley. Hasley did his part (and then some), picking up 43 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also punching in a touchdown on the ground for the 'W'.
On the year, Hasley has caught 8 touchdowns while averaging 56.3 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had four receiving touchdowns.
Gamescore: 27.65
Kaidon Hagerty Makes It Two for Tehachapi
The second Tehachapi player making an appearance here is Kaidon Hagerty, and for good reason. He rushed for 44 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making four total tackles.
On the year, Hagerty has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 22.6 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 26.85
A Constellation of Stars for South
Another South player making an appearance on this list is Marvin Parra. He made eight total tackles (2.0 for loss).
East Bakersfield's probably not too fond of Parra given he always seems to get the better of them. When Parra last faced the Blades back in October of 2023, he picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
