East Bay - Mountain 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!
Ismael Duenas Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Amador Valley's Ismael Duenas, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Duenas' rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 110 rushing yards. He also rushed for 305 rushing yards, which is notable because Amador Valley is undefeated when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 4-5 otherwise.
Amador Valley is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight games, which provided a nice bump to their 7-5 record this season. Duenas and Amador Valley will face off against Bishop O'Dowd at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

On the year, Kelley has run in 16 touchdowns while averaging 66.5 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had ten rushing touchdowns.
