Atticus Enriquez's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Mt. Carmel over Del Norte
While Atticus Enriquez delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Mt. Carmel. Enriquez turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 91 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 85 yards and a touchdown.
Mt. Carmel's defeat ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 5-3. Enriquez and Mt. Carmel will face off against Fallbrook at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 35.93
Riley Valecruz Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Friday, Mt. Carmel had to settle for second even though Riley Valecruz put up the best numbers he has all season. Valecruz picked up 142 receiving yards and two touchdowns, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Valecruz is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Fallbrook on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Valecruz saw the Warriors), he picked up 162 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 32.70
Makihele Came Up Big in San Marcos' 35-7 Victory
Rounding off our Top Five is Kreet Makihele of San Marcos. Makihele threw for 177 yards and four touchdowns while completing 84.6% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Makihele might just drop another big game when he faces off against Rancho Bernardo on Friday. Makihele threw for 353 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 14.7 yards per attempt the last time he and the Broncos duked it out back in October of 2023.
