Horizon Prep Gets a Boost from Parker in 60-0 Victory

Parker threw for 206 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 passes, and also rushed for 66 yards and two touchdowns. He has been hot recently, having posted two or more rushing touchdowns the last four times he's played.

A Season-Best Effort from Lochlan Church Leads Horizon Prep over Warner
On Friday, Horizon Prep got the W thanks in part to Lochlan Church playing the best football he has all season. Church picked up 108 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
For the season, Church has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 70.8 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 56.57
Big Game from Alcaraz As Borrego Springs Won 45-6
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Christopher Alcaraz stepped things up a notch to give Borrego Springs the 'W'. Alcaraz turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 173 yards and five touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes, and also rushing for 30 yards.
West Shores's probably not too fond of Alcaraz given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Alcaraz saw the Wildcats), he threw for 263 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Gamescore: 42.83
Abraham Arambula Dazzles in Borrego Springs Win
Another Borrego Springs player making an appearance on this list is Abraham Arambula. He made 16 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
If the past is any indication, Arambula could be in store for another big game when he takes on Horizon Prep on Thursday. Arambula picked up 0.5 sacks, made 12 total tackles (1.5 for loss), and defended a pass the last time he and the Lions duked it out back in October of 2023.
