Big Game from Taboada As El Monte Won 42-32
Starting off the list is El Monte's Felipe Taboada, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Taboada rushed for 151 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 72-yard run.
El Monte's win bumped their record up to 6-2. Taboada and El Monte will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Mountain View at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.

A Season-Best Performance from Isaiah Standley Leads El Monte over Arroyo
Isaiah Standley produced his most outstanding game to date while leading El Monte to the win on Friday. Standley rushed for 164 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the season, Standley has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 78.2 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he had one rushing touchdown.

Another Game with at Least Three Passing Touchdowns from Matthew Medina
South El Monte was led to victory by Matthew Medina, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Medina threw for 206 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 passes. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (12) he has had since back in August. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
The victory (which was South El Monte's third in a row) raised their record to 5-3. Medina and South El Monte are taking a road trip to challenge Gabrielino at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
