Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Big Game from Roberts As Buena Fell 35-33
Starting off the list is Buena's Jaxon Roberts, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Roberts rushed for 100 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also picked up 49 receiving yards and a touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 60 yards.
Roberts and Buena will take on Moorpark at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Roberts will face off against Carson Melzer, the Musketeers' star RB. Will the match be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Tyler Hoff Makes It Two for Buena
The second Buena player making an appearance here is Tyler Hoff, and for good reason. He picked up 120 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 42 yards. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 67 yards.
Hoff and Buena will face off against Moorpark at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The match will pit Hoff up against the Musketeers' star pass catcher Cooper Cronquist. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
