4A Skyline 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Carlos Toscano Leads Greenway over Peoria
Sadly, Carlos Toscano posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Greenway over Peoria on Friday. Toscano rushed for 274 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to 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 60 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Toscano might just drop another big game when he faces off against Moon Valley on Friday. When Toscano last faced the Rockets back in October of 2023, he rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown.

Cristian Carrillo Delivers Best Effort of Season
Peoria was led to victory by Cristian Carrillo, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Carrillo rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries. He is becoming a predictor of Peoria's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
Peoria's victory ended a four-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 3-4. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Panthers dukes it out withGlendale at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Gary Chandler

For the year, Chandler has averaged 6.3 total tackles per game and for the season has 7.5 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had two sacks.
