Eastern 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!
Jj Johnson Dazzles in Enterprise Win
Starting off the list is Enterprise's Jj Johnson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Johnson rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 208 yards and two touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making four total tackles.
Johnson and Enterprise will take on Shasta at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Hornets had to take a loss when they last met the Wolves, but Johnson had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 92 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Dominick Hernandez Makes It Two for Enterprise
Another Enterprise player making an appearance on this list is Dominick Hernandez. He picked up 64 receiving yards and a touchdown.
On the year, Hernandez has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 45.5 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he had one receiving touchdown.
Gamescore: 21.93
While JR Wheeler delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Shasta. Wheeler was dynamite, picking up 49 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
With the loss, Shasta broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 5-1. Wheeler and Shasta will look to defend their home field on Friday against Enterprise at 7:00 p.m.

Polley Made His Presence Known in Shasta's 21-14 Defeat
Keeping Wheeler company is Justin Polley, a fellow Shasta player. He threw for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 56 yards.
Polley must have Foothill's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Polley last faced the Cougars back in October of 2023, he rushed for 155 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.4 yards per carry, and also threw for 156 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
