Mesquite 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!
Nathan Cole Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Big Bear's Nathan Cole, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cole made six total tackles (1.5 for loss). He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 74 yards.
On the season, Cole has averaged 4.8 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 interceptions. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he was only averaging 33.8 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 93.4 rushing yards.

Micah Little Delivers Best Performance of Season

Little and Linfield Christian are taking a road trip to square off against Western Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Little will face off against Jeffrey Jackson, the Fighting Lancers' star running back. Will the contest be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Mark Oosten was a major factor in Arrowhead Christian's win over Western Christian on Friday. Oosten turned in nothing short of a gem, making nine total tackles.
