Conejo Coast 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!
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. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (101.6) per game. Those 222 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Miller and Calabasas will welcome Rio Mesa at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Miller will face off against Isaiah Bautista, the Spartans' star rusher. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Jackson Taylor Delivers Best Effort of Season
Thousand Oaks came up short on Friday despite Jackson Taylor delivering his best game to date. Taylor threw for 356 yards and six touchdowns while completing 73% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He has become a key player for Thousand Oaks: the team is undefeated when he posts at least 250 passing yards, but 2-3 otherwise.
Taylor and Thousand Oaks will challenge Newbury Park at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Lancers had to take a loss when they last met the Panthers, but Taylor had little to do with the loss: he threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Newbury Park Gets a Boost from Smigiel in 45-3 Victory
Newbury Park picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Brady Smigiel. Smigiel turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 290 yards and five touchdowns while completing 76.9% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Smigiel and Newbury Park will be playing in front of their home fans against Thousand Oaks at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The contest will pit Smigiel up against the Lancers' star QB Jackson Taylor. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

A Season-Best Performance from Shane Rosenthal Leads Newbury Park over Westlake
Newbury Park was led to victory by Shane Rosenthal, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Rosenthal picked up 199 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 82 yards.
Rosenthal and Newbury Park will face off against Thousand Oaks at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Rosenthal up against the Lancers' star pass catcher Hayden Vercher. 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.
