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 Willams As Hope Christian Won 35-6
Starting off the list is Hope Christian's Breylon Willams, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Willams picked up 212 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 79 yards.
Willams and Hope Christian will look to defend their home field on Saturday against Robertson at 11:00 a.m. The contest will pit Willams up against the Cardinals' star receiver George Smith. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.

Roman Montoya Makes It Two for Hope Christian
Keeping Willams company is Roman Montoya, a fellow Hope Christian player. He threw for 230 yards and four touchdowns on only 17 passes, and also rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown.
Montoya and Hope Christian will square off against Robertson at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The contest will pit Montoya up against the Cardinals' star QB Jesse James Gonzalez. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Jesse James Gonzalez Delivers Electric Effort Vs West Las Vegas
Jesse James Gonzalez's big game helped extend Robertson's winning streak to eight on Friday. Gonzalez was dynamite, throwing for 225 yards and two touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also rushing for 64 yards and a touchdown.
West Las Vegas's probably not too fond of Gonzalez given he always seems to get the better of them. When Gonzalez last faced the Dons back in October of 2023, he rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.8 yards per carry, and also threw for 150 yards and two touchdowns on only ten passes.

Cj Perea's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Cj Perea posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 113 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also threw for 128 yards and a touchdown.
On the season, Perea has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 173.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 12.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 35.43 rushing yards.

This season, Smith has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 78 receiving yards per game.
