It's time once again for Friday Night Hero as we pick the best of the best from the week of high school football and allow you to vote for the weekly winner.

But first, let's give a shoutout to last week's honoree. You voted and you chose Palm Desert quarterback AJ Rivera. Rivera had his best high school game through the air, hurling four touchdown passes in a win against Elsinore.

This week saw more amazing performances by our desert stars. We picked five for you to choose from. Simply read the accomplishments of each player and pick your favorite by voting in the poll attached to this article at desertsun.com.

The person with the most votes at noon on Thursday will be declared the winner. Here are this week's candidates in alphabetical order. Happy voting!

Mario Gallo, Desert Christi
