Bryson Baker's Big Game Leads Sanger over Edison
Starting off the list is Sanger's Bryson Baker, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Baker rushed for 159 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, and also caught a touchdown. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Baker is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Madera on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Baker saw the Coyotes), he rushed for 141 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also picked up 30 receiving yards.
