South Yosemite - Horizon Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Big Game from Gonzales As Mira Monte Fell 35-25
Starting off the list is Mira Monte's Nathan Gonzales, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Gonzales rushed for 158 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 37 receiving yards. He is becoming a predictor of Mira Monte's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
Mira Monte has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-4 record this season. Gonzales and Mira Monte will welcome Golden Valley at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Gamescore: 44.20
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Joseph Perez stepped things up a notch to give Golden Valley the 'W'. Perez was dynamite, making six total tackles and defending a pass. He also rushed for 112 rushing yards, which is notable because Golden Valley is 2-1 when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
The win got Golden Valley back to even at 3-3. Perez and Golden Valley will head out on the road to face off against Mira Monte at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.
