5A Southern Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Andres Bonilla's Big Game Leads Buena over Desert View
Starting off the list is Buena's Andres Bonilla, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Bonilla rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory (which was Buena's third in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Bonilla and Buena will square off against Marana at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Moore Came Up Big in Buena's 70-0 Victory
Keeping Bonilla company is Nash Moore, a fellow Buena player. He rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 93 yards and two touchdowns. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 81-yard run.
This season, Moore has thrown 23 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 200.7 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 36.20
Greg Webb Delivers Best Effort of Season
Marana was led to victory by Greg Webb, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Webb wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks, making 11 total tackles (4.0 for loss), and defending a pass. The match was his fifth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
The win for Marana keeps them at an undefeated 8-0. Webb and Marana will welcome Buena at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Raymond Duarte Has Career Rushing Day
Raymond Duarte posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also threw for 120 yards on 11 of 18 attempts.
This season, Duarte has averaged 97 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 four.

Johnathan Marley Turns in Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles
On Friday, Casa Grande got the W thanks in part to Johnathan Marley playing the best football he has all season. Marley wasn't messing around, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making 12 total tackles (3.0 for loss). The match was his sixth straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Casa Grande moved to 5-3 with that win, which also ended their three-game losing streak. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cougars faces off against Desert View at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
