Valley Oak 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!
Oakdale Gets a Boost from Burford in 63-21 Win
Starting off the list is Oakdale's Wes Burford, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Burford rushed for 180 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries. Burford is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 143 every time he's taken the field this season.
Sierra's probably not too fond of Burford given he always seems to get the better of them. When Burford last faced the Timberwolves back in September of 2023, he rushed for 287 yards and four touchdowns.

Joey Alcutt Goes Supernova in Central Catholic Win
Joey Alcutt's big game helped extend Central Catholic's winning streak to three on Friday. Mountain House had no answer to Alcutt as he rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. Alcutt has become a key player for Central Catholic: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Alcutt and Central Catholic will face off against Sierra at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Alcutt took on the Timberwolves, he rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 42.80
While Patterson might've come up empty on Friday, Noah Cozart wasn't going down without a fight. Nobody could stop Cozart as he picked up 145 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 90 yards.
This season, Cozart has caught 13 touchdowns while averaging 94 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after ten games last season, he was only averaging 59.5 receiving yards per game.
