Kayne Miller Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Calabasas's Kayne Miller, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Miller rushed for 222 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.1 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (101.6). Those 222 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Calabasas is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-4. Miller and Calabasas will take on Rio Mesa at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Jackson Taylor Leads Thousand Oaks over Rio Mesa
Sadly, Jackson Taylor posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Thousand Oaks over Rio Mesa on Friday. Taylor threw for 356 yards and six touchdowns while completing 73% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He is becoming a predictor of Thousand Oaks' success: when he posts at least 250 passing yards the team is undefeated (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
On the year, Taylor has thrown 18 touchdowns while averaging 245.4 passing yards per game.
