John Bernardez Game Report: @ Elk Grove

For the first time in his career, John Bernardez scored a rushing touchdown on Friday. He rushed for 115 yards and one TD on only nine carries, helping propel Chico past Elk Grove by a score of 27-17. We marked that as the best performance he's had all season, even better than his effort on September 12th (when he threw for 131 yards and one touchdown while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 75 yards on only eight carries) (Gamescore: 16.5333333333333 vs. 16.1333333333333).

Looking ahead, Bernardez and Chico will look to defend their home field on Friday against Enterprise at 7:00 p.m. Bernardez will face off against Izaiah Mikell, the Hornets' star quarterback. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.
