A Season-Best Performance from Samere Ellis Leads Eldorado over Valley
On Thursday, Eldorado got the W thanks in part to Samere Ellis playing the best football he has all season. Ellis rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries.
Eldorado moved to 1-6 with that win, which also ended their seven-game losing streak. Ellis and Eldorado will look to defend their home field on Friday against Del Sol at 6:00 p.m.

Pinecrest Academy Cadence was sadly handed a loss on Thursday, but Levi Jones did his best to prevent it. Jones was unstoppable, picking up a sack and making three total tackles. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making three total tackles.
Pinecrest Academy Cadence's defeat ended a four-game streak of away wins and brought them to 4-3. Jones and Pinecrest Academy Cadence will challenge Chaparral at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Eldorado's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Tristan Savea

Thanks in part to Jordan Malone, Eldorado said goodbye to their seven-game losing streak dating back to last season. Malone rushed for 69 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making four total tackles and defending a pass.
This year, Malone has run in 2 touchdowns while averaging 29.4 rushing yards per game.

Wilson Made His Presence Known in Canyon Springs' 20-6 Win
Canyon Springs picked up their fourth consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Bakari Wilson. Wilson did his part (and then some), rushing for 78 yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'. He is becoming a predictor of Canyon Springs' success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-4 when he doesn't).
The victory got Canyon Springs back to even at 4-4. Wilson and Canyon Springs will take on Spring Valley at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
