Valley 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!
Stehly Posts Huge Game in 22-19 Win
Starting off the list is Valley Center's Daniel Stehly, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Stehly picked up four sacks and made 16 total tackles (5.0 for loss).
Valley Center has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matches, which provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. Stehly and Valley Center will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Westview at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

Gonzales Made His Presence Known in Escondido's 22-19 Defeat
While Escondido might've come up empty on Friday, Josh Gonzales wasn't going down without a fight. Valley Center had no answer to Gonzales as he picked up 173 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Gonzales is becoming a predictor of Escondido's success: when he posts at least 100 receiving yards the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Escondido's defeat ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 4-3. Gonzales and Escondido will square off against Westview at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
