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!
Aidan Ysaguirre Dazzles in Santa Cruz Valley Win
Aidan Ysaguirre's big game helped extend Santa Cruz Valley's winning streak to seven on Friday. Heritage Academy had no answer to Ysaguirre as he rushed for 175 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. Ysaguirre is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Ysaguirre is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against San Tan Charter on Friday. Ysaguirre rushed for 184 yards the last time he and the Roadrunners duked it out back in October of 2023.
