Almont 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!
Jesse Medina Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Bell Gardens got the W thanks in part to Jesse Medina playing the best football he has all season. Medina rushed for 279 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 15.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 62 yards.
The win was the third in a row for Bell Gardens, bringing their record for this year to 4-1. Medina and Bell Gardens will head out on the road to square off against San Gabriel at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Elias Navarro
Schurr was led to victory by Elias Navarro, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Navarro wasn't messing around, rushing for 124 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries. The match was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season.
San Gabriel's probably not too fond of Navarro given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Navarro saw the Matadors), he rushed for 90 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 35 receiving yards.
