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!
Epifano Montiel Has Career-Day on Friday
Starting off the list is Mt. Pleasant's Epifano Montiel, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Montiel made ten total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. With that strong performance, he is now averaging an impressive 100.2 rushing yards per game.
The victory (which was Mt. Pleasant's third in a row) raised their record to 3-5. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cardinals dukes it out withEvergreen Valley at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday.

Jason Stoner Goes Supernova in Gunderson Victory
Jason Stoner was instrumental in extending Gunderson's winning streak to six on Friday. Stoner was dynamite, rushing for 155 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. He has been hot , having posted two or more rushing touchdowns the last five times he's played.
Stoner and Gunderson will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on San Jose at 7:15 p.m. on November 8th. The last time Stoner took on the Bulldogs, he rushed for 51 yards, and also caught a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
