Israel Soto Goes Supernova in Karnes City Win
Starting off the list is Karnes City's Israel Soto, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Soto rushed for 147 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
On the season, Soto has averaged 18.8 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 20.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 67.83 rushing yards.
