Golden Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Quartz Hill Gets a Boost from Graham in 49-0 Win
Starting off the list is Quartz Hill's Jaden Graham, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Graham rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. He is becoming a predictor of Quartz Hill's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
Graham and Quartz Hill will square off against Eastside at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Graham took on the Lions, he rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Gavin Houston posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 221 yards while picking up 9.2 yards per carry. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he posted at least 107 rushing yards in the fifth games prior.
With the defeat, Antelope Valley broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 3-4. Houston and Antelope Valley will stay at home for another week and welcome Highland at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Jayson Wilson Delivers Best Performance of Season
Lancaster was led to victory by Jayson Wilson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Wilson rushed for 77 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 108 yards and a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.

Carrillo Came Up Big in Highland's 84-0 Win
Jayden Carrillo was instrumental in extending Highland's winning streak to four on Friday. Nobody could stop Carrillo as he picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made 13 total tackles (3.0 for loss). He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
This year, Carrillo has averaged 9.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 7 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 6.14 total tackles per game.
