Hilmar moved up to 185 from 288 in the state rankings this week, the biggest jump in Trans Valley League. The Yellowjackets were able to move up by topping Modesto Christian 30-0.

Ripon added to the longest winning streak in the league this week by beating Escalon, 35-3. The victory was the fifth in a row for the Indians.

Tanner Duron was a beast in the backfield as Hughson beat Summerville.

Tanner Pruett threw for 212 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Jonathan O'Brien provided a threat through the air and on the ground as Hilmar defeated the Crusaders. He completed 14 passes for 209 yards and also ran for 89 yards. O'Brien's key target this week was Trent Orosco, who caught 6 passes for 96 yards.

Pruett put up the best numbers through the air as Orestimba defeated Riverbank. Pruett's favorite target this week was Alex Banks, who caught 4 passes for 116 yards.
