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!
Ezra Meuller Dazzles in Norwalk Win
Starting off the list is Norwalk's Ezra Meuller, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Meuller rushed for 163 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry. Meuller is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 163 every time he's taken the field this season.
The win (which was Norwalk's fourth in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Meuller and Norwalk will face off against Firebaugh at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Cerritos Posts Huge Game in 43-35 Victory
Keeping Meuller company is Diego Cerritos, a fellow Norwalk player. He rushed for 178 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack, made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defended a pass.
For the year, Cerritos has run in 14 touchdowns while averaging 129.4 rushing yards per game.

Dylan Richburg Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Dylan Richburg posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Gahr over Norwalk on Friday. Richburg rushed for 94 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 51 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Gahr now has a losing record at 3-4. Richburg and Gahr will venture away from home to face off against Compton Early College at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Roman Acosta Leads Gahr over Norwalk
Gahr came up short on Friday despite Roman Acosta delivering his best game to date. Acosta threw for 200 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown.
On the season, Acosta has thrown those 2 touchdowns while averaging 118 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 5.6 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 16.4 rushing yards.

Brian Lopez produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Paramount to the win on Friday. Lopez picked up two sacks and made nine total tackles (3.0 for loss). Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 5.3 total tackles per game.
Paramount's victory was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. They and Lynwood are set to duel on Friday.
