East Yosemite 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!
Burk Made His Presence Known in Redwood's 28-6 Victory
Starting off the list is Redwood's Jimmie Burk, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Burk rushed for 132 yards and four touchdowns.
Monache's probably not too fond of Burk given he always seems to get the better of them. When Burk last faced the Marauders back in October of 2023, he rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries.

Golden West's victory was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Anders and Golden West will venture away from home to take on Redwood at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

While Porterville might've come up empty on Friday, Izaya Welsh wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the loss, Welsh was still balling out as he picked up 90 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 64 yards.
On the season, Welsh has caught those 2 touchdowns while averaging 89 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 29.43 receiving yards per game.
