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!
AJ Horne Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Estrella Foothills got the W thanks in part to AJ Horne playing the best football he has all season. Horne rushed for 123 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries.
The win (which was Estrella Foothills' third in a row) raised their record to 6-2. Horne and Estrella Foothills will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Copper Canyon at 7:00 p.m. on October 31st.

Copper Canyon's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Luis Rojas
Copper Canyon's five-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Luis Rojas. Rojas turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday, picking up a sack and making six total tackles. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made six total tackles.
For the season, Rojas has averaged 8.2 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.83 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 64.33 rushing yards.

Wray Made His Presence Known in Estrella Foothills' 33-11 Win
Another Estrella Foothills player making an appearance on this list is Hone Wray. He threw for 169 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 55 yards.
Unfortunately for Washington, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Wray. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Wray saw the Rams), he threw for 262 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes.
