3A District 3 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!
Omar Loya Delivers Best Effort of Season
Omar Loya produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Dexter to the win on Friday. Loya rushed for 202 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory for Dexter keeps them at an undefeated 8-0. Loya and Dexter are on the road again on Friday to play Hot Springs at 7:00 p.m.
Gamescore: 55.45
While Isaiah Ocampo delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Socorro. Ocampo was unstoppable, rushing for 112 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 177 yards and two touchdowns on only 16 passes.
With the defeat, Socorro broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 5-2. Ocampo and Socorro will challenge Cobre at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Gamescore: 49.05
Dexter Gets a Boost from George in 44-29 Victory
Kaesn George was instrumental in extending Dexter's winning streak to eight on Friday. George did his part (and then some), rushing for 100 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries for the 'W'. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in October of 2023.
On the season, George has averaged 79.4 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 47.27
Orrin Russell Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Friday, Hatch Valley got the W thanks in part to Orrin Russell playing the best football he has all season. Russell rushed for 181 yards and three touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The win made it two in a row for Hatch Valley and bumps their season record up to 5-3. Russell and Hatch Valley will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Dexter at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
Gamescore: 43.80
A Season-Best Effort from Cohen Tomasits Leads New Mexico Military Institute over Cathedral
New Mexico Military Institute was led to victory by Cohen Tomasits, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Tomasits rushed for 170 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Tomasits is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Ruidoso on Thursday. When Tomasits last faced the Warriors back in October of 2023, he rushed for 42 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 64 receiving yards and a touchdown.
