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!
Ayden Williams Delivers Electric Performance Vs Tempe
Starting off the list is ALA - Ironwood's Ayden Williams, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Williams rushed for 345 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.8 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
If the past is any indication, Williams could be in store for another big game when he takes on San Tan Foothills on Friday. When Williams last faced the Sabercats back in October of 2023, he rushed for 365 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.4 yards per carry.

Smith Made His Presence Known in Florence's 21-12 Defeat
Florence had to settle for second on Friday, but Malik Smith sure wasn't going down easily. Benjamin Franklin had no answer to Smith as he rushed for 98 yards and a touchdown.
Smith might have his next game, a road matchup with Crismon, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Smith saw the Rattlers), he rushed for 134 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.4 yards per carry.
