Cooper Starnes' Big Game Leads La Quinta over Loara
Starting off the list is La Quinta's Cooper Starnes, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Starnes rushed for 206 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.

A Season-Best Performance from Govern Nguyen Leads Costa Mesa over Bolsa Grande

Costa Mesa's victory bumped their record up to 5-3. Nguyen and Costa Mesa will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Loara at 6:30 p.m. on October 31st.

Anaheim Gets a Boost from Guardado in 42-6 Victory
Eduardo Guardado was instrumental in extending Anaheim's winning streak to three on Thursday. Guardado turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 96 yards and three touchdowns.
Guardado and Anaheim will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on La Quinta at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st. Guardado will face off against Cooper Starnes, the Aztecs' star RB. 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.
Gamescore: 30.40
Andrew Waiss Makes It Two for Costa Mesa
Another Costa Mesa player making an appearance on this list is Andrew Waiss. He threw for 141 yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground.
This year, Waiss has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 122 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 5.63 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 37 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 27.50
Jorge Rodriguez Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Jorge Rodriguez posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Loara over La Quinta on Friday. Rodriguez rushed for 53 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 40 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making a tackle.
Loara is on an 18-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-8. Rodriguez and Loara will get a bit of extra time to process the defeat as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Costa Mesa at 6:30 p.m. on October 31st.
