Crossroads 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!
Tellado Posts Huge Game in 30-20 Win
Starting off the list is St. Michael the Archangel's Luis Tellado, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tellado rushed for 127 yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 101 rushing yards dating back to last season.
The victory got St. Michael the Archangel back to even at 3-3. Tellado and St. Michael the Archangel are taking a road trip to square off against University Academy Charter at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Gage Burgess Makes It Two for St. Michael the Archangel
Another St. Michael the Archangel player making an appearance on this list is Gage Burgess. He rushed for 126 yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of St. Michael the Archangel's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
For the season, Burgess has averaged 92.8 passing yards per game.

Big Game from Ward As Summit Christian Academy Won 24-21
Summit Christian Academy found a leader in Michael Ward as the squad took down University Academy Charter/Kauffman on Friday. Nobody could stop Ward as he rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 155 yards and a touchdown.
It'll be Battle of the Birds when Eagles takes on Van Horn at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Eagles had to take a loss when they last met the Falcons, but Ward had little to do with the loss: he threw for 237 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Kaleb Williams Delivers Best Effort of Season
