Valley Mission Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Diego Montes Goes Supernova in Kennedy Victory
Starting off the list is Kennedy's Diego Montes, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Montes threw for 324 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes, and also rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.
Canoga Park's probably not too fond of Montes given he always seems to get the better of them. Montes rushed for 56 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 98 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes the last time he and the Hunters duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 68.20
Trujillo Came Up Big in Kennedy's 50-8 Victory
Keeping Montes company is Martin Trujillo, a fellow Kennedy player. He picked up a sack and made eight total tackles.
This season, Trujillo has averaged 6 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 7.29 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 20.86 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 29.80
Francisco Ceja Delivers Best Effort of Season
Francisco Ceja produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Kennedy to the win on Friday. Ceja picked up 171 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 89 yards.
