Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Max Hilliard Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Max Hilliard produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Arrowhead Christian to the win on Friday. Hilliard rushed for 266 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 14.0 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (108.3) per game. His longest rush was for an incredible 76 yards.
Arrowhead Christian has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 3-4 record this season. Hilliard will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Western Christian on Friday.
Gamescore: 56.97
Big Bear was sadly handed a defeat on Saturday, but Aiden Brewer did his best to prevent it. Brewer was dynamite, making three total tackles. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 66 yards.
The loss snapped Big Bear's winning streak at four games and leaves them with a 5-2 record. Brewer and Big Bear are taking a road trip to take on Maranatha at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Thomas Paschal Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Saturday, Linfield Christian got the W thanks in part to Thomas Paschal playing the best football he has all season. Paschal threw for 329 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 49 yards.
