Ivy 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!
Major Came Up Big in Paloma Valley's 29-21 Victory
Starting off the list is Paloma Valley's Javon Major, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Major rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also picked up 68 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making eight total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Paloma Valley's win was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-2. Major's next match is against Rancho Verde on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

The win (which was Rancho Verde's third in a row) raised their record to 4-3. Thompson and Rancho Verde will head out to take on Paloma Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
