Agape (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Isaiah Navarro Drops League-Best Effort on Saturday
Starting off the list is Lucerne Valley's Isaiah Navarro, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Navarro rushed for 49 yards and two touchdowns.
Academy of Careers & Exploration had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Navarro it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Navarro saw the Eagle), he rushed for 186 yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 35.35
Rietdyk Made His Presence Known in Lucerne Valley's 36-22 Defeat
Another Lucerne Valley player making an appearance on this list is William Rietdyk. He picked up 90 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 62 yards. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 63 yards.
On the year, Rietdyk has averaged 95 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 7.86 rushing yards per game.

Hesperia Christian's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Luke Beasley
Hesperia Christian's four-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Luke Beasley. Beasley turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday, picking up three sacks, forcing a fumble, and making six total tackles.
This season, Beasley has averaged 2 total tackles per game and for the season has those 3 sacks.

A Season-Best Effort from Nathaniel Renner Leads Hesperia Christian over PAL Academy
On Friday, Hesperia Christian got the W thanks in part to Nathaniel Renner playing the best football he has all season. Renner threw for 129 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 passes.
Renner might have his next game, a road matchup with Lucerne Valley, circled on his calendar. When Renner last faced the Mustangs back in October of 2023, he rushed for 36 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown.
Gamescore: 28.25
Mccloud Posts Huge Game in 50-0 Win
Another Hesperia Christian player making an appearance on this list is Dakota McCloud. He picked up 111 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Hesperia Christian's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
McCloud and Hesperia Christian will square off against Lucerne Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. McCloud will face off against Raul Gonzalez, the Mustangs' star pass catcher. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
