Lynnden Hodge's Big Game Leads Buena Park over University
Starting off the list is Buena Park's Lynnden Hodge, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hodge rushed for 218 yards and a touchdown while picking up 12.1 yards per carry, and also picked up 74 receiving yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 131 rushing yards.
The win was the third in a row for Buena Park, bringing their record for this year to 4-3. Hodge and Buena Park will face off against Pacifica at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Addison Adams was a major factor in Pacifica's victory over Woodbridge on Friday. Adams was unstoppable, making three total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making three total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
The win made it two in a row for Pacifica and bumps their season record up to 3-4. Adams and Pacifica will venture away from home to face off against Buena Park at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

University Gets a Boost from Oldham in 15-7 Defeat
University was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Carl Oldham did his best to prevent it. Buena Park had no answer to Oldham as he picked up 107 receiving yards and a touchdown. Oldham is becoming a predictor of University's success: when he posts at least 80 receiving yards the team is 3-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
On the year, Oldham has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 85.3 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 3.43 receiving yards per game.

Portola's victory ended a six-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 2-5. Whang and Portola will challenge University at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
