Big West - Upper Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Dorian Hoze Dazzles in Murrieta Valley Win
Starting off the list is Murrieta Valley's Dorian Hoze, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hoze rushed for 227 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.3 yards per carry. Those 227 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Unfortunately for Chaparral, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Hoze. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Hoze saw the Pumas), he rushed for 210 yards and three touchdowns.

Big Game from Longstreet As Centennial Won 63-0
Husan Longstreet's big game helped extend Centennial's winning streak to five on Thursday. Longstreet was dynamite, throwing for 216 yards and three touchdowns while completing 76.9% of his passes, and also rushing for 32 yards and a touchdown. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Longstreet must have Vista Murrieta's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Longstreet threw for 299 yards and four touchdowns while completing 93.8% of his passes the last time he and the Broncos duked it out back in October of 2023.

Jeremiah Watson Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Murrieta Valley got the W thanks in part to Jeremiah Watson playing the best football he has all season. Watson rushed for 149 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 61 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the season, Watson has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 60 rushing yards per game.

Joseph Stoffel's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Joseph Stoffel produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Norco to the win on Friday. Stoffel rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also threw for 96 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the season, Stoffel has thrown 5 touchdowns while averaging 131.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to two.
Gamescore: 31.70
Schneider Posts Huge Game in 49-7 Victory
Another Norco player making an appearance on this list is Trevor Schneider. He rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 111 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Roosevelt's probably not too fond of Schneider given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Schneider saw the Mustangs), he rushed for 140 yards and a touchdown.
