Mason Tigue Drops League-Best Performance on Friday
Starting off the list is Ford's Mason Tigue, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tigue made four total tackles and defended a pass. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending a pass.
The victory (which was Ford's third in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Tigue's next matchup is against Sunnyvale on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
