Golden 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!
Jaden Graham Delivers Best Performance of Season
Jaden Graham produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Quartz Hill to the win on Friday. Graham wasn't messing around, rushing for 153 yards and four touchdowns on only 13 carries. The contest was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns. Quartz Hill is undefeated when Graham posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
Unfortunately for Antelope Valley, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Graham. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Graham saw the Antelopes), he rushed for 201 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.4 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 51.28
Sahmon Smith and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Sahmon Smith was instrumental in extending Lancaster's winning streak to six on Friday. Smith rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Smith has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 21.1 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 36.05
Jayden Page Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Jayden Page posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Highland over Lancaster on Friday. Page made 20 total tackles (5.0 for loss).
Highland moved to 5-4 with that defeat, which also ended their five-game winning streak. Page's next matchup is against Palmdale on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
Gamescore: 35.50
Zeon Camps Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles
Zeon Camps continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 18th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He turned in his biggest game of the season, picking up two sacks and making 14 total tackles.
Highland had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Camps it was a similar story. Camps picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss) the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in October of 2023.
