Iota Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Effort from Ethan Mundt Leads Troy over Canyon
On Friday, Troy got the W thanks in part to Ethan Mundt playing the best football he has all season. Mundt rushed for 159 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also caught a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Mundt and Troy will welcome Irvine at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Warriors had to take a loss when they last met the Vaqueros, but Mundt had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 101 yards on only 13 carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 49.93
Sonora found a leader in Alexsay Nazaroff as the squad took down Santa Ana on Thursday. Nazaroff turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 150 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory got Sonora back to even at 4-4. Nazaroff will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Canyon on Friday.
Gamescore: 48.60
Big Game from Alcala As Troy Won 58-23
Another Troy player making an appearance on this list is Rudy Alcala. He threw for 150 yards and five touchdowns.
Alcala might have his next game, a home matchup with Irvine, circled on his calendar. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Alcala saw the Vaqueros), he threw for 362 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 13.4 yards per attempt, and also punched in a rushing score.
Gamescore: 32.90
Anthony Abad Makes It Two for Sonora
The second Sonora player making an appearance here is Anthony Abad, and for good reason. He rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 125 rushing yards dating back to last season.
This season, Abad has run in 14 touchdowns while averaging 150.7 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 32.48
Deacon Moss Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Irvine got the W thanks in part to Deacon Moss playing the best football he has all season. Moss picked up 167 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (five) he has had since back in October of 2023. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 59 yards.
Moss and Irvine are taking a road trip to square off against Troy at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The last time Moss took on the Warriors, he picked up 110 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
