4A Copper Sky 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!
Luis Rojas' Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is Copper Canyon's Luis Rojas, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Rojas made seven total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 55 yards.
This year, Rojas has averaged 7.6 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.89 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 65.67 rushing yards.

Devin Murphy Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Devin Murphy put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September on Friday. He made nine total tackles (2.0 for loss). The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (100.2). He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 63 yards.
For the season, Murphy has averaged 7.2 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had four rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to ten.

A Season-Best Performance from Juan Vazquez Leads Maryvale over Washington
Sadly, Juan Vazquez posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Maryvale over Washington on Friday. Vazquez wasn't messing around, forcing a fumble and making 23 total tackles (4.5 for loss). The matchup was his tenth straight with five or more total tackles.
For the year, Vazquez has averaged 11.3 total tackles per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after ten games last season, he was only averaging 2.1 total tackles per game.
