Lynnden Hodge's Big Game Leads Buena Park over University
Starting off the list is Buena Park's Lynnden Hodge, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hodge rushed for 218 yards and a touchdown while picking up 12.1 yards per carry, and also picked up 74 receiving yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 131 rushing yards.
The victory (which was Buena Park's third in a row) raised their record to 4-3. Hodge and Buena Park will face off against Pacifica at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Addison Adams stepped things up a notch to give Pacifica the 'W'. Adams was dynamite, making three total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making three total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
The win made it two in a row for Pacifica and bumps their season record up to 3-4. Adams and Pacifica will head out on the road to square off against Buena Park at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Oldham Came Up Big in University's 15-7 Loss
While Carl Oldham delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for University. Oldham was dynamite, picking up 107 receiving yards and a touchdown. He has become a key player for University: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least 80 receiving yards, but 0-3 otherwise.
On the year, Oldham has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 85.3 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 3.43 receiving yards per game.

A Season-Best Effort from Joshua Whang Leads Portola over Katella
On Friday, Portola got the W thanks in part to Joshua Whang playing the best football he has all season. Whang rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown, and also caught a touchdown. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 58 yards.
Portola's win ended a six-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 2-5. Whang and Portola will square off against University at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
