Big Central - United Silver Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jack Dally Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Saturday, Governor Livingston got the W thanks in part to Jack Dally playing the best football he has all season. Dally's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 150 rushing yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Governor Livingston is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 3-4 record this season. Dally and Governor Livingston will take on Bernards at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Lucciano Santamaria Has Career Rushing Day
Lucciano Santamaria produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Governor Livingston to the win on Saturday. Santamaria rushed for 204 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This season, Santamaria has averaged 109.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had four rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to eight.

South Plainfield's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Dominic Massaro
Dominic Massaro helped snap South Plainfield's three-game losing streak. Massaro was dynamite on Friday, making three total tackles and defending two passes. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making three total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
South Plainfield's win ended a six-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 2-5. Massaro's next contest is against South River on Saturday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
