Catholic AA I Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Friday through Sunday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Tommy Digregorio Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Tommy Digregorio produced his most outstanding game to date while leading St. Joseph-by-the-Sea to the win on Friday. Digregorio rushed for 273 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.0 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (100.3). He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
St. Joseph-by-the-Sea is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Digregorio and St. Joseph-by-the-Sea will take on Kennedy Catholic at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Marco Aruta was a major factor in St. Peter's win over Archbishop Stepinac on Friday. Aruta did his part (and then some), rushing for 87 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, while also picking up 51 receiving yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
