4A Skyline 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!
Carlos Toscano Delivers Best Effort of Season
Greenway came up short on Friday despite Carlos Toscano delivering his best game to date. Toscano rushed for 274 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 60 yards.
If the past is any indication, Toscano could be in store for another big game when he takes on Moon Valley on Friday. Toscano rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Rockets duked it out back in October of 2023.

A Season-Best Performance from Cristian Carrillo Leads Peoria over Greenway
On Friday, Peoria got the W thanks in part to Cristian Carrillo playing the best football he has all season. Carrillo rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries. He is becoming a predictor of Peoria's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
Peoria's win ended a four-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 3-4. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Panthers faces off against Glendale at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
