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!
Graham Made His Presence Known in Quartz Hill's 49-0 Victory
Starting off the list is Quartz Hill's Jaden Graham, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Graham rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. He is becoming a predictor of Quartz Hill's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
Graham and Quartz Hill will face off against Eastside at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Royals got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Lions, probably because Graham had a solid game then too: he rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Gavin Houston Delivers Electric Performance Vs Palmdale
Gavin Houston posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 221 yards while picking up 9.2 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 107 rushing yards dating back to last season.
With the loss, Antelope Valley broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 3-4. Houston and Antelope Valley will play host again on Friday to welcome Highland, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m.

Carrillo Came Up Big in Highland's 84-0 Victory
Highland picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jayden Carrillo. Carrillo did his part (and then some), picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making 13 total tackles (3.0 for loss) for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
This year, Carrillo has averaged 9.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 7 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 6.14 total tackles per game.
