Mid-Valley 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!
Erik New Dazzles in Maxwell Victory
Starting off the list is Maxwell's Erik New, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. New rushed for 161 yards on only 15 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 51 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win (which was Maxwell's fifth in a row) raised their record to 9-1. New and Maxwell will be playing in front of their home fans against Fall River at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Los Molinos Gets a Boost from Gillett in 28-7 Loss
Los Molinos had to settle for second on Friday, but Wyatt Gillett sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Gillett as he made ten total tackles (3.0 for loss).
On the year, Gillett has averaged 11.5 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after ten games last season, he was only averaging 8.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 87.4 rushing yards.

With the loss, Biggs broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 7-3. Long and Biggs will look to defend their home field on Friday against Weed at 7:00 p.m.
