A Season-Best Effort from Hayezon Jackson Leads Clayton Valley Charter over Las Lomas

Jackson rushed for 224 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.2 yards per carry. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (110.7) per game. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 76-yard run.

Josh Elerts Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Acalanes got the W thanks in part to Josh Elerts playing the best football he has all season. Elerts rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made a tackle.
Acalanes pushed their record up to 5-2 with the win, which was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season. Elerts and Acalanes will square off against Clayton Valley Charter at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Roman Mercado Goes Supernova in Las Lomas Loss
Las Lomas had to settle for second on Friday, but Roman Mercado sure wasn't going down easily. Mercado turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 192 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
If history really does repeat itself, Mercado might just drop another big game when he faces off against Campolindo on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Mercado saw the Cougars), he picked up 204 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

Blair Came Up Big in Miramonte's 35-28 Loss

Miramonte's defeat dropped their record down to 4-3. Blair and Miramonte will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Las Lomas at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
