Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Effort from Cruz Tello Leads Bowie over Dripping Springs
Bowie came up short on Friday despite Cruz Tello delivering his best game to date. Tello threw for 320 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 13.9 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown.
On the year, Tello has thrown 15 touchdowns while averaging 188.1 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 26.71 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 41.14 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 49.03
Owen Langdon Makes It Two for Bowie
Another Bowie player making an appearance on this list is Owen Langdon. He picked up 160 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 72 yards.
For the season, Langdon has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 55.6 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 21.43 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 34.33
Big Game from Wise As Westlake Won 49-7
Westlake picked up their third consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Rees Wise. Wise turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 255 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.6 yards per attempt.
Wise might have his next game, a home matchup with Bowie, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Wise saw the Bulldogs), he threw for 186 yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Gamescore: 30.00
Lake Travis Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Vann Hopping
Lake Travis picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Vann Hopping. Hopping did his part (and then some), rushing for 87 yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'.
Del Valle's probably not too fond of Hopping given he always seems to get the better of them. When Hopping last faced the Cardinals back in October of 2023, he rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.6 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 27.80
Chaston Ditta was instrumental in extending Lake Travis's winning streak to six on Friday. Ditta was unstoppable, rushing for 35 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 85 yards and two touchdowns.
For the season, Ditta has thrown 13 touchdowns while averaging 207 passing yards per game.
