Valley Mission 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!
Diego Montes Delivers Electric Effort Vs Sylmar
Starting off the list is Kennedy's Diego Montes, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Montes rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 148 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 124 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Montes might have his next game, a home matchup with Panorama, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Montes saw the Pythons), he rushed for 82 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns while completing 91.7% of his passes.

Carlos Herrera Delivers Best Performance of Season
Van Nuys was led to victory by Carlos Herrera, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Herrera threw for 240 yards and five touchdowns, and also rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Herrera and Van Nuys will take on Sylmar at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Wolves had to take a loss when they last met the Spartans, but Herrera had little to do with the loss: he threw for 246 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72% of his passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Luvon Nolen Puts an End to San Fernando's Losing Streak on Friday
