5A Southern 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!
Andres Bonilla Dazzles in Buena Win
Starting off the list is Buena's Andres Bonilla, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Bonilla rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory was the third in a row for Buena, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Bonilla and Buena will take on Marana at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Moore Came Up Big in Buena's 70-0 Win
Keeping Bonilla company is Nash Moore, a fellow Buena player. He rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 93 yards and two touchdowns. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 81 yards.
On the season, Moore has thrown 23 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 200.7 passing yards per game.

Greg Webb Delivers Best Effort of Season
Greg Webb produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Marana to the win on Friday. Webb wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks, making 11 total tackles (4.0 for loss), and defending a pass. The matchup was his fifth straight with five or more total tackles.
The win for Marana keeps them at an undefeated 8-0. Webb will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Buena on Friday.

Luke Keeton Puts an End to Casa Grande's Losing Streak on Friday
Casa Grande's three-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Luke Keeton. Keeton did his part (and then some), throwing for 339 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per attempt, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground for the 'W'. Casa Grande is 4-1 when Keeton posts three or more passing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Casa Grande's victory bumped their record up to 5-3. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cougars dukes it out withDesert View at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
