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!
Big Game from Camacho As Riverdale Won 32-21
Starting off the list is Riverdale's Xaidyn Camacho, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Camacho threw for 177 yards and five touchdowns on only nine passes, and also rushed for 75 yards on only five carries.
For the year, Camacho has thrown 17 touchdowns while averaging 122 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 63.08 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 96.01 passer rating.

Davian Stephenson's Big Game Leads Chowchilla over Cabrillo
Chowchilla picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Davian Stephenson. Stephenson was dynamite, rushing for 125 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 85 yards and two touchdowns on only eight passes. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last six games he's played.
Chowchilla pushed their record up to 10-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Stephenson and Chowchilla will head out on the road to challenge Coalinga at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Lamattina Posts Huge Game in 21-14 Defeat
Liberty was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Talan Lamattina did his best to prevent it. Nobody could stop Lamattina as he picked up 40 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 79 yards on only six carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack, making ten total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defending a pass.
For the season, Lamattina has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 12.8 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 34.9 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 67 rushing yards.

Hemphill didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble, made five total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defended a pass.
This year, Hemphill has run in 15 touchdowns while averaging 67.1 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after 11 games last season, he had seven rushing touchdowns.
