A Season-Best Effort from Brandon Mann Leads Bishop Manogue over Reno
Brandon Mann produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Bishop Manogue to the win on Friday. Mann wasn't messing around, throwing for 226 yards and five touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also rushing for 69 yards and a touchdown. The matchup was his third straight with three or more passing touchdowns.
Bishop Manogue pushed their record up to 6-3 with the victory, which was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season. Mann will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Douglas on Thursday.

Reno Gets a Boost from Wilson in 48-26 Loss
While Braylon Wilson delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Reno. Despite the loss, Wilson was still balling out as he rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.4 yards per carry, and also threw for 213 yards and a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of Reno's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 2-1 (and 0-4 when he doesn't).
Reno is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-5. Wilson and Reno will head out on the road to face off against McQueen at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.

Nishaan Bajwa Makes It Two for Reed
Another Reed player making an appearance on this list is Nishaan Bajwa. He threw for 220 yards and two touchdowns while completing 73.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 34 yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Bajwa has thrown 16 touchdowns while averaging 153.1 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 85.39 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 132.01 passer rating.
