A Season-Best Effort from Jordan Lauago Leads La Mirada over Dominguez
Jordan Lauago produced his most outstanding game to date while leading La Mirada to the win on Friday. Lauago rushed for 200 yards and three touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
If history really does repeat itself, Lauago might just drop another big game when he faces off against Mayfair on Friday. Lauago picked up 103 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 42 yards the last time he and the Monsoons duked it out back in October of 2023.

Louis Johnson's Big Game Leads Mayfair over Warren
Louis Johnson put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 157 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.1 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 72-yard run.
Johnson might have his next game, a road matchup with La Mirada, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Johnson saw the Matadores), he rushed for 179 yards and two touchdowns.
