Central California - CCAL Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Elias Haynes Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Downey's Elias Haynes, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Haynes rushed for 122 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making three total tackles and defending three passes in addition to snagging two interceptions.
Downey's win was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-1. Haynes and Downey will head out on the road to challenge Gregori at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Gregori Gets a Boost from Vasquez in 25-22 Win
Emmanuel Vasquez posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He threw for 276 yards and a touchdown while completing 78.6% of his passes, and also rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles and defended a pass.
The win (which was Gregori's third in a row) raised their record to 4-5. Vasquez will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Downey on Friday.

Carson Lamb Makes It Two for Downey
Another Downey player making an appearance on this list is Carson Lamb. He threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Lamb might have his next game, a home matchup with Gregori, circled on his calendar. Lamb threw for 302 yards and two touchdowns while completing 82.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 46 yards the last time he and the Jaguars duked it out back in October of 2023.
