Montview Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Ontario's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Samuel Abajuo
Thanks in part to Samuel Abajuo, Ontario said goodbye to their 15-game losing streak dating back to last season. Abajuo was unstoppable on Thursday, rushing for 166 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 84 yards.
Ontario's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-5. Abajuo and Ontario will look to defend their home field on Friday against Azusa at 7:00 p.m.

Wilson Gets a Boost from Ezeonye in 56-0 Victory
Dominic Ezeonye's big game helped extend Wilson's winning streak to five on Thursday. Ezeonye did his part (and then some), rushing for 153 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries for the 'W'. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 126 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Ezeonye and Wilson will welcome Nogales at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Wildcats had to take a loss when they last met the Nobles, but Ezeonye had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 98 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 39.80
Derek Ochoa Makes It Two for Wilson
Keeping Ezeonye company is Derek Ochoa, a fellow Wilson player. He rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 69 yards.
For the year, Ochoa has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 120.8 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 6.8 rushing yards per game.

A Season-Best Performance from Rene Catarino Leads Wilson over Azusa
Wilson was led to victory by Rene Catarino, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Catarino wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks, forcing a fumble, and making six total tackles (3.0 for loss). The game was his third straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Catarino and Wilson will host Nogales at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Wildcats had to take a loss when they last met the Nobles, but Catarino had little to do with the loss: he picked up two sacks and made five total tackles. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
