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!
Kemon Jackson and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
McClintock picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kemon Jackson. Jackson rushed for 83 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 146 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 87 yards.
McClintock's win was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Jackson and McClintock will welcome Sunnyslope at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Mack Kump Leads Sunnyslope over Campo Verde
Sunnyslope came up short on Friday despite Mack Kump delivering his best game to date. Kump picked up 187 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Campo Verde's probably not too fond of Kump given he always seems to get the better of them. Kump picked up 66 receiving yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Coyotes duked it out back in October of 2023.
