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!
A Season-Best Performance from Gavin Cisneros Leads St. Joseph Academy over La Feria
On Friday, St. Joseph Academy got the W thanks in part to Gavin Cisneros playing the best football he has all season. Cisneros rushed for 198 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 300 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per attempt, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Cisneros has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 169.5 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to six.

Dedric Callis Delivers Best Performance of Season
St. Joseph was led to victory by Dedric Callis, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Callis rushed for 92 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, and also picked up 91 receiving yards and a touchdown. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 52 yards.
St. Joseph has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. Callis and St. Joseph will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on St. John XXIII at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
