Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Brady Goodman Turns in Season-Best Performance
Mountain View was led to victory by Brady Goodman, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Goodman threw for 150 yards and five touchdowns, and also rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now passed for three or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
The win (which was Mountain View's third in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Goodman and Mountain View will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Mesa at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
