California - Division I (8 Man) 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!
Hayfork Wins 19th-Straight Thanks to Levi Cavalli
Levi Cavalli was instrumental in extending Hayfork's winning streak to 19 on Friday. Burney had no answer to Cavalli as he rushed for 141 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 63 yards and a touchdown. Cavalli's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 116 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Cavalli could be in store for another big game when he takes on Loyalton on Friday. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Cavalli saw the Grizzlies), he rushed for 253 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 13.3 yards per carry.

Gus Petterson Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Loyalton got the W thanks in part to Gus Petterson playing the best football he has all season. Petterson threw for 291 yards and six touchdowns on only 18 passes, and also rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown.
Petterson and Loyalton will look to defend their home field on Saturday against Hayfork at 1:00 p.m. Petterson will face off against Levi Cavalli, the Timberjacks' star QB. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
Gamescore: 72.80
Xavier Silva Has Career Rushing Day
On Friday, Tulelake got the W thanks in part to Xavier Silva playing the best football he has all season. Silva rushed for 148 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 72 yards and two touchdowns on only five passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 85 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Silva might just drop another big game when he faces off against Burney on Friday. Silva rushed for 43 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 138 yards and two touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes the last time he and the Raiders duked it out back in October of 2023.

Hayfork Wins 19th-Straight Thanks to Devin Nanez
Devin Nanez was instrumental in extending Hayfork's winning streak to 19 on Friday. Nanez turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 63 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 50 yards and a touchdown.incredibly, Nanez got all that yardage with just one huge grab
Burney's probably not too fond of Nanez given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September (the last time Nanez saw the Raiders), he rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.

Anthony Bonelli's Big Game Leads Hayfork over Burney
Anthony Bonelli was instrumental in extending Hayfork's winning streak to 19 on Friday. Bonelli was dynamite, rushing for 95 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Bonelli has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 68.8 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he had three rushing touchdowns.
