Sacramento Metro Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Chase Parkinson Turns in Season-Best Effort
Delta was led to victory by Chase Parkinson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Parkinson threw for 310 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes, and also rushed for 60 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for Delta: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
For the year, Parkinson has thrown 21 touchdowns while averaging 243 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 32.72 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 96 passer rating.
Gamescore: 65.82
Emanual Daugherty II's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Emanual Daugherty II posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Saturday. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he posted at least 105 rushing yards in the fourth games prior. He also punched in three rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Elite is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
The win (which was Elite's fifth in a row) raised their record to 6-2. Daugherty II and Elite will challenge Cordova at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Gamescore: 62.23
Max Danila Dazzles in Delta Win
The second Delta player making an appearance here is Max Danila, and for good reason. He picked up 175 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 86 yards.
Danila might have his next game, a home matchup with Valley Christian, circled on his calendar. When Danila last faced the Lions back in October of 2023, he picked up 132 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
Gamescore: 42.58
Alex Made His Presence Known in Elite's 56-6 Victory
Malachi Alex was instrumental in extending Elite's winning streak to five on Saturday. Alex was unstoppable, rushing for 85 yards and a touchdown. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making seven total tackles.
For the season, Alex has run in 2 touchdowns while averaging 64.7 rushing yards per game.

Savion Mccray Makes It Three for Elite
Another Elite player making an appearance on this list is Savion McCray. He picked up 100 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Elite's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
For the year, McCray has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 89.8 receiving yards per game.
