D'angelo Hagans Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Silverado came up short on Friday despite D'Angelo Hagans delivering his best game to date. Hagans picked up 164 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 56 yards on only five carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Hagans' next matchup is against Green Valley on Thursday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance. The game will pit Hagans up against the Gators' star WR Theodore Edquilang. 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.

Craven was unstoppable, rushing for 149 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 59 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Shadow Ridge is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season. Craven and Shadow Ridge will face off against Sierra Vista at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
