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!
Big Game from Burk As Redwood Won 28-6
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.
Burk must have Monache's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Burk rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries the last time he and the Marauders duked it out back in October of 2023.

Porterville had to settle for second on Friday, but Izaya Welsh sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Welsh as he picked up 90 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 64 yards.
On the season, Welsh has caught those 2 touchdowns while averaging 89 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 29.43 receiving yards per game.
