Golden 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!
Big Game from Suarez As Palmdale Won 48-7
Starting off the list is Palmdale's Joshua Suarez, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Suarez threw for 339 yards and six touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Palmdale's success: when he posts at least 250 passing yards the team is 3-1 (and 3-4 when he doesn't).
Palmdale is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 6-5 record this season. Suarez and Palmdale will square off against Chaffey at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
