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!
A Season-Best Effort from Benjamin Moya Leads Mar Vista over San Ysidro
Mar Vista was led to victory by Benjamin Moya, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Moya rushed for 32 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 65 receiving yards and a touchdown. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August.
Mar Vista's road trip will continue as they head out to face Southwest SD at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The last time Moya took on the Raiders, he rushed for 42 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 123 yards on nine of 15 attempts. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Peter Thomas Delivers Electric Effort Vs San Ysidro
Thanks in part to Peter Thomas, Mar Vista said goodbye to their six-game losing streak. Thomas turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday, rushing for 74 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 130 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
This year, Thomas has thrown 10 touchdowns (and and only 2 picks) while averaging 117.4 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 32 passing yards per game.

Dario Garcia Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Dario Garcia posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead San Ysidro over Mar Vista on Friday. Garcia rushed for 130 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. His longest rush was for an incredible 80 yards.
Garcia must have Mar Vista's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Garcia rushed for 214 yards and a touchdown while picking up 11.9 yards per carry the last time he and the Mariners duked it out back in October of 2023.

Southwest SD's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Conner Davis
Conner Davis helped snap Southwest SD's three-game losing streak. Nobody could stop Davis on Friday as he made four total tackles and defended a pass. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making four total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Southwest SD pushed their record up to 4-4 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Davis and Southwest SD will welcome Mar Vista at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
