Bravo 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!
Nate Lewis Has Career-Day on Friday
Starting off the list is Villa Park's Nate Lewis, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Lewis picked up a sack and made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for three straight games.
This year, Lewis has averaged 7.8 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 16.63 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 40.75 rushing yards.

Adam Achour Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Tesoro came up short on Friday despite Adam Achour delivering his best game to date. Achour made 16 total tackles (3.0 for loss). Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 6.2 total tackles per game.
Tesoro is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-5. Achour and Tesoro will head out to face off against Corona del Mar at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Herr Came Up Big in San Juan Hills' 30-7 Win
Timmy Herr's big game helped extend San Juan Hills's winning streak to five on Friday. Nobody could stop Herr as he threw for 215 yards and three touchdowns while completing 87% of his passes.
Newport Harbor's probably not too fond of Herr given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Herr saw the Sailors), he rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 76 yards and three touchdowns.

A Season-Best Performance from Glenn Baranoski Leads Newport Harbor over San Juan Hills
Sadly, Glenn Baranoski posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Newport Harbor over San Juan Hills on Friday. Baranoski wasn't messing around, picking up a sack and making 15 total tackles. The match was his 13th straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
This year, Baranoski has averaged 11.5 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 7.5 total tackles per game.
