Aaron Deleon's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Stratford over Cy-Fair
Starting off the list is Stratford's Aaron Deleon, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Deleon rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also threw for 102 yards on eight of 23 attempts. Those 131 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Stratford's loss ended a six-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 5-2. Deleon and Stratford will challenge Cypress Falls at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Chase Ferrell Leads Cypress Falls over Jersey Village
Cypress Falls was led to victory by Chase Ferrell, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Ferrell rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 70 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Ferrell and Cypress Falls will challenge Stratford at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The match will pit Ferrell up against the Spartans' star WR Hunter Biehl. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
