Cook Inlet Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Dimond Wins Tenth-Straight Thanks to Cayden Pili
Cayden Pili's big game helped extend Dimond's winning streak to ten on Saturday. Pili's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 109 rushing yards dating back to last season. With that strong performance, he is now averaging an impressive 2.1 rushing touchdowns per game.
For the year, Pili has thrown 17 touchdowns while averaging 162.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 23.89 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 86.1 rushing yards.

Josiah James and Co. Win Tenth in a Row
Dimond picked up their tenth consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to Josiah James. James turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up a sack and making eight total tackles.
James is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against West Anchorage on Saturday. James made 17 total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defended two passes the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in September.
