It's a great week for Boston City League fans, as both the North and South champs advance into the playoffs undefeated with tremendous shots at Super Bowl appearances. But let's recap Thanksgiving first.

Game of the Week

The top game for Week 11? All of them.

Hey, it's Thanksgiving, every game is important, no matter who is involved. So let's run though each City League game.

First, check out my friend Jack McCluskey's game story from East Boston's 26-6 win over South Boston. I'm surprised that Southie was able to keep it a game as long as they did, but then again they do have some talent over there. I expect some big things out of that team next year, as they are made up of mostly underclassmen.

Next, let's head to Charlestown, where Jonathan Turner absolutely went off on a Burke defense. The outstanding quarterback threw for 200 yards and four touchdowns, while rushing for 78 yards and another score. Turner has had himself quite a year at the helm for the Townies, but getting shutout against Madison Park really hurt his chances for Player of the Year. The Townies had to win that game to keep their playoff chances alive, and the last thing they could afford was to be shutout.

Speaking of Madison Park, the Cardinals jumped out to a 22-0 halftime lead over O'Bryant, but almost let them come back, holding on for a 22-14 victory. I was told by a Madison Park coach that Chris Flores single-handedly kept O'Bryant in the game, as he hauled in touchdown passes of 42 and 65 yards. Although it was a loss, it was an impressive performance by O'Bryant.

Boston English got stomped by a Boston Latin team that previously had no victories, but that's not all that surprising considering Latin is a Division 1A squad, while English is Division 3A. Still, I expected the score to be closer than 33-6.

Top Performers

1. Jonathan Turner, Charlestown -- Turner's great performance is highlighted above. Five touchdowns... enough said.

2. Tyrone Figueroa, East Boston - Figueroa looks to be in great form heading into the playoffs. He was a beast on the field on Thanksgiving, rushing for 127 yards and two touchdowns while intercepting the ball two times and running one back for a score. A true two-way threat.

3. Chris Flores, O'Bryant - Flores tried to keep O'Bryant in it against Madison Park, and the Cardinals coaching staff was very impressed by the wideout's play.

Look Ahead

Unfortunately, Eastie and Brighton play at almost the same time during Tuesday's semifinals. Brighton takes on Manchester Essex in Wayland at 4 p.m., and you can find a preview of that game here.

East Boston will take on Blue Hills at Stonehill College at 5 p.m. The D3A preview didn't go into much detail about this match up, so I'll take the liberty to do so here:

Eastie and Blue Hills both rely on star running backs in the Jets' Tyrone Figueroa and the Warriors' Jerry Nelson. The two are right next to each other among scoring leaders, and they're actually pretty similar runners. Figueroa is a little more elusive while Nelson tends to lower the shoulder more often, but they're both very talented. This game will almost certainly come down to which star has the better game.

If you're an Eastie fan, the good news is that the Jets beat South Shore, 33-15,m earlier in the season, while the Warriors lost to the same South Shore team. However, Blue Hills looked excellent against South Boston, winning 34-0 while Eastie didn't look nearly as good. This should be an interesting matchup, and will probably zip by as there may not be a pass thrown all game. I'm picking East Boston by a touchdown, but wouldn't be surprised to see this game come down to a battle of who converts their 2-point conversions.

In the other City playoff matchup, I don't see anyone stopping Brighton's march toward the Super Bowl. The Bengals are the pick.

Player of the Year Rankings

The rankings see little movement this week:

1. Tyrone Figueroa, East Boston (-) -- Figueroa added another stellar game to his resume, and has really carried the Jets since Frank Brown's injury.

2. Jonathan Turner, Charlestown (+2) -- Turner's monster game on Thanksgiving gave him 18 touchdown passes on the year, which leads Division 3A. He has also rushed for eight scores. This was quite a jump based on one game, but aided by the fact that Brighton didn't play on Thanksgiving.

3. Kameel Lashley, Brighton (-1) -- Its not Lashley's fault, but his team didn't play this week. A playoff game gives him the chance to jump back up the rankings this week.

4. Kariym Azeez, Brighton (-1) -- See Lashley.

5. Eric Lott, Dorchester (-) I don't think this spot will be changing.
