Brian Bonner Dazzles in Valencia Victory
Starting off the list is Valencia's Brian Bonner, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Bonner rushed for 114 yards and four touchdowns.
If the past is any indication, Bonner could be in store for another big game when he takes on West Ranch on Friday. When Bonner last faced the Wildcats back in October of 2023, he picked up 48 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 78 yards.

Ty Hall Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Ty Hall posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Saugus over Golden Valley on Friday. Hall rushed for 103 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 32 receiving yards.
Saugus is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-7. Hall and Saugus will be playing at home against Hart at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Coleman Made His Presence Known in Castaic's 52-33 Defeat
Monty Coleman's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his third-straight game with 111+ rushing yards. He rushed for 111 yards and three touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Castaic's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 2-5 when he doesn't).
On the season, Coleman has run in 15 touchdowns while averaging 112.6 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had four rushing touchdowns.

Valencia Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Xander Hohler
Xander Hohler's big game helped extend Valencia's winning streak to five on Friday. Hohler turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up a sack and making 13 total tackles (2.0 for loss). Hohler is crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least five every time he's taken the field this season.
For the season, Hohler has averaged 8.2 total tackles per game and for the season has 7 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 1.33 total tackles per game.
