Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Ana Bodie Turns in Season-Best Performance
Ana Bodie produced her most outstanding game to date while leading Coral Park to the win on Thursday. Bodie rushed for 117 yards and one touchdown on only 11 carries, which was good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Bodie might just drop another big game when she faces off against Hialeah Educational Academy on Thursday. Bodie threw for 60 yards and two touchdowns on perfect 6-for-6 passing, and also caught one touchdown the last time she and the Biggie duked it out back in March of 2024.
