Aiden Lee Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Paradise Honors got the W thanks in part to Aiden Lee playing the best football he has all season. Lee rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
On the season, Lee has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 19 rushing yards per game.

While Yuma might've come up empty on Friday, Andrew Mosqueda wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the loss, Mosqueda was still balling out as he picked up 63 receiving yards and a touchdown.
This is the second loss in a row for Yuma and nudges their season record down to 1-6. Mosqueda and Yuma will be playing at home against Wickenburg at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
