Sacramento Metro Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Chase Parkinson Turns in Season-Best Effort
Chase Parkinson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Delta to the win on Friday. Parkinson threw for 310 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes, and also rushed for 60 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for Delta: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
This year, Parkinson has thrown 21 touchdowns while averaging 243 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 32.72 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 96 passer rating.
Gamescore: 65.82
Emanual Daugherty II's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Emanual Daugherty II posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Saturday. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he posted at least 105 rushing yards in the fourth games prior. He also punched in three rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Elite is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
The victory (which was Elite's fifth in a row) raised their record to 6-2. Daugherty II and Elite will challenge Cordova at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Gamescore: 62.23
Max Danila Dazzles in Delta Victory
Another Delta player making an appearance on this list is Max Danila. He picked up 175 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 86 yards.
Danila is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Valley Christian on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Danila saw the Lions), he picked up 132 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
Gamescore: 42.58

This year, Alex has run in 2 touchdowns while averaging 64.7 rushing yards per game.
