Aaron Deleon Dazzles in Stratford Win
Starting off the list is Stratford's Aaron Deleon, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Deleon threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns while completing 73.7% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Jersey Village had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Deleon it was a similar story. When Deleon last faced the Falcons back in November of 2023, he threw for 409 yards and four touchdowns while completing 80.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 82 yards and two touchdowns.

The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 55 yards.

Isaac Richardson Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Isaac Richardson posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Memorial over Cy-Fair on Friday. Richardson picked up three sacks and made eight total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Richardson must have Cy-Fair's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Richardson last faced the Bobcats back in November of 2023, he picked up two sacks and made 11 total tackles.

Garland Wilburn Delivers Electric Performance Vs Cypress Ridge
Cypress Creek had to settle for second on Friday, but Garland Wilburn sure wasn't going down easily. Cypress Ridge had no answer to Wilburn as he rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 49 receiving yards.
Cypress Creek is on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 0-6. Wilburn and Cypress Creek will square off against Memorial at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday.
