3A District 3 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Omar Loya Leads Dexter over Socorro
On Friday, Dexter got the W thanks in part to Omar Loya playing the best football he has all season. Loya rushed for 202 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory for Dexter keeps them at an undefeated 8-0. Loya and Dexter are on the road again on Friday to play Hot Springs at 7:00 p.m.
Gamescore: 55.45
While Isaiah Ocampo delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Socorro. Despite the defeat, Ocampo was still balling out as he rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns on only 16 passes.
The loss snapped Socorro's winning streak at five games and leaves them with a 5-2 record. Ocampo and Socorro will challenge Cobre at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Gamescore: 49.05
Big Game from George As Dexter Won 44-29
Kaesn George was instrumental in extending Dexter's winning streak to eight on Friday. George was dynamite, rushing for 100 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in October of 2023.
On the season, George has averaged 79.4 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 47.27
Orrin Russell Has Career-Day on Friday
Hatch Valley was led to victory by Orrin Russell, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Russell rushed for 181 yards and three touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The victory made it two in a row for Hatch Valley and bumps their season record up to 5-3. Russell and Hatch Valley will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Dexter at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
Gamescore: 43.80
Cohen Tomasits Delivers Best Performance of Season
Cohen Tomasits produced his most outstanding game to date while leading New Mexico Military Institute to the win on Thursday. Tomasits rushed for 170 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If history really does repeat itself, Tomasits might just drop another big game when he faces off against Ruidoso on Thursday. When Tomasits last faced the Warriors back in October of 2023, he rushed for 42 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 64 receiving yards and a touchdown.
