Iota Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Brandon Figueroa Turns in Season-Best Performance
Brandon Figueroa produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Irvine to the win on Thursday. Figueroa rushed for 335 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 18.6 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 94 yards.
Canyon's probably not too fond of Figueroa given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in August of 2023 (the last time Figueroa saw the Comanches), he rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns.
