6A Central Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Breana Saunders Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Millennium's Breana Saunders, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Thursday Saunders threw for 335 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.4 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards she has had since back in October of 2023. She also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making a tackle and defending a pass in addition to snagging two interceptions which she returned for a touchdown.
The victory was the third in a row for Millennium, bringing their record for this year to 9-2. Saunders and Millennium will square off against Corona del Sol at 6:00 p.m. on Monday.

Hailey Buis Turns in Season-Best Effort

Malaysia Roebuck Delivers Electric Effort Vs Arizona College Prep
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Malaysia Roebuck stepped things up a notch to give Marana the 'W'. Nobody could stop Roebuck as he picked up 82 receiving yards and two touchdowns. She didn't just play on offense: he also made five total tackles and defended a pass.
Roebuck is probably looking forward to her next game, a home matchup against Corona del Sol on Thursday. Roebuck picked up 133 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time she and the Aztecs duked it out back in October of 2023.
