Monticello Empire 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!
Kalani Mcleod Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Vanden got the W thanks in part to Kalani Mcleod playing the best football he has all season. Mcleod's passing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 319 passing yards.
Mcleod must have Wood's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Mcleod saw the Wildcats), he threw for 290 yards and four touchdowns while completing 90.5% of his passes.

Brendan Jackson's Big Game Leads Vacaville over River City
Brendan Jackson was instrumental in extending Vacaville's winning streak to three on Friday. Jackson turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 214 yards and three touchdowns on perfect 12-for-12 passing.
Vacaville is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests, which provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season. Jackson and Vacaville will take on Wood at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
