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!
Davian Stephenson Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Chowchilla got the W thanks in part to Davian Stephenson playing the best football he has all season. Stephenson rushed for 290 yards and five touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 87 yards and a touchdown while completing 85.7% of his passes. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (100.7) per game. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 66 yards.
Chowchilla's win was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Stephenson and Chowchilla will look to defend their home field on Friday against Minarets at 7:00 p.m.

A Season-Best Performance from Talan Lamattina Leads Liberty over Minarets
On Friday, Liberty got the W thanks in part to Talan Lamattina playing the best football he has all season. Lamattina rushed for 142 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.9 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making 12 total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Lamattina must have Minarets's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Lamattina last faced the Mustangs back in October of 2023, he rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.

Xaidyn Camacho Sets Career High in Rushing Yards

Camacho rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 146 yards and a touchdown on only 12 passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Yosemite had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Camacho it was a similar story. Camacho rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 82 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Badgers duked it out back in October of 2023.
