East Yosemite 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!
Burk Made His Presence Known in Redwood's 28-6 Victory
Starting off the list is Redwood's Jimmie Burk, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Burk rushed for 132 yards and four touchdowns.
Burk must have Monache's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Burk rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries the last time he and the Marauders duked it out back in October of 2023.

Anders and Golden West will head out to square off against Redwood at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The contest will pit Anders up against the Rangers' star running back Jimmie Burk. Will the game be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
