A Season-Best Performance from Jesse Medina Leads Bell Gardens over Alhambra
Jesse Medina produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Bell Gardens to the win on Friday. Medina rushed for 279 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 15.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 62 yards.
The win was the third in a row for Bell Gardens, bringing their record for this year to 4-1. Medina and Bell Gardens are taking a road trip to square off against San Gabriel at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Elias Navarro
Elias Navarro produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Schurr to the win on Friday. Navarro wasn't messing around, rushing for 124 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries. The game was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season.
San Gabriel's probably not too fond of Navarro given he always seems to get the better of them. Navarro rushed for 90 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 35 receiving yards the last time he and the Matadors duked it out back in September of 2023.
