Sunset 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!
Tasin Posts Huge Game in 27-21 Defeat
Starting off the list is Maranatha Christian's Aaron Tasin, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tasin picked up two sacks and made 15 total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Unfortunately for Tri-City Christian, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Tasin. When Tasin last faced Tri-City Christian back in October of 2023, he made 14 total tackles (3.0 for loss).

Dakobi Coleman Puts an End to O'farrell Charter's Losing Streak on Friday
O'Farrell Charter's 17-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Dakobi Coleman. Coleman rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 143 yards and a touchdown on only 13 passes, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.
Rock Academy's probably not too fond of Coleman given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Coleman saw the Warriors), he rushed for 191 yards and a touchdown.

O'farrell Charter's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Saina Tafilele
Thanks in part to Saina Tafilele, O'Farrell Charter said goodbye to their 17-game losing streak dating back to last season. Tafilele was unstoppable on Friday, rushing for 21 yards.
On the season, Tafilele has averaged 24.6 rushing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging five receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 11.29 receiving yards.

Coastal Academy Gets a Boost from Benner in 42-0 Victory
Asher Benner's big game helped extend Coastal Academy's winning streak to four on Friday. Benner was dynamite, picking up 145 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
On the year, Benner has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 30.5 receiving yards per game.

Grayson Kennedy Makes It Two for Maranatha Christian
The second Maranatha Christian player making an appearance here is Grayson Kennedy, and for good reason. He rushed for 23 yards and a touchdown.
Kennedy and Maranatha Christian will venture away from home to take on Rock Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Kennedy took on the Warriors, he rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
