Pacific Coast - Gabilan 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!
Eli Dukes Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Palma had to settle for second even though Eli Dukes put up the best numbers he has all season. Dukes rushed for 271 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.8 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 58 yards.
Aptos's probably not too fond of Dukes given he always seems to get the better of them. Dukes rushed for 115 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries the last time he and the Mariners duked it out back in October of 2023.
