Eastern 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!
Big Game from Stubbs As Bell Won 37-13
Starting off the list is Bell's Erick Stubbs, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Stubbs rushed for 283 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 92-yard run.
This year, Stubbs has run in 22 touchdowns while averaging 222.5 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 104.13 rushing yards per game.

Another Game with at Least 103 Rushing Yards from Ceasar Reyes
Ceasar Reyes's rushing tear continued on Thursday as he dropped his eighth-straight game with 103+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 142 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Garfield, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. Reyes and Garfield will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Roosevelt at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.

Edward Rivera's Big Game Leads South East over Roosevelt
Edward Rivera's rushing tear continued on Thursday as he dropped his seventh-straight game with 119+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 168 yards while picking up 7.3 yards per carry. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing two fumbles and making ten total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Roosevelt's probably not too fond of Rivera given he always seems to get the better of them. Rivera rushed for 210 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.5 yards per carry the last time he and the Rough Riders duked it out back in September of 2023.

South Gate now has a losing record at 3-4. Fonseca and South Gate will face off against South East at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
