Majestic (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Dylan Kelly Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Cornerstone Christian got the W thanks in part to Dylan Kelly playing the best football he has all season. Kelly rushed for 156 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 247 yards and four touchdowns on only six passes. He is becoming a predictor of Cornerstone Christian's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
This year, Kelly has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 113.5 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 4.87 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 123.8 passer rating.
Gamescore: 76.27
Mcgee Posts Huge Game in 66-11 Victory
California Lutheran picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Colton Mcgee. Southlands Christian had no answer to Mcgee as he rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 68 yards and two touchdowns. Mcgee was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 65 yards.
California Lutheran pushed their record up to 7-1 with the win, which was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season. Mcgee and California Lutheran will square off against Malibu at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Matthew Huffman's Big Game Leads Cornerstone Christian over Noli Indian
The second Cornerstone Christian player making an appearance here is Matthew Huffman, and for good reason. He rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also picked up 63 receiving yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
This year, Huffman has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 26 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 53.23
Aiden Boehm and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Aiden Boehm was instrumental in extending California Lutheran's winning streak to five on Friday. Southlands Christian had no answer to Boehm as he picked up 52 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Boehm also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack, making nine total tackles, and defending a pass.
This season, Boehm has caught 10 touchdowns while averaging 68.9 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to eight.
Gamescore: 36.65
A Constellation of Stars for Cornerstone Christian
Another Cornerstone Christian player making an appearance on this list is Joshua Aderhold. He picked up three sacks, forced a fumble, and made ten total tackles. He is becoming a predictor of Cornerstone Christian's success: when he posts at least one sack the team is undefeated (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
This season, Aderhold has averaged 8.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 12 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 3.14 total tackles per game.
