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!
Andre Lopez Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, American Canyon got the W thanks in part to Andre Lopez playing the best football he has all season. Lopez's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 101 rushing yards dating back to last season. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 65 yards.
Lopez and American Canyon will take on Petaluma at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The game will pit Lopez up against the Trojans' star RB Brody Stevens. Will the contest be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Mason Harris
Mason Harris put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He wasn't messing around, rushing for 132 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. The match was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
This season, Harris has averaged 111 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he had four rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to ten.
