Central California Conference Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Siena Freitas Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Los Banos's Siena Freitas, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Thursday Freitas picked up 63 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 33 yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Los Banos has traveled a rocky road recently having lost 11 of their last 12 contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-13 record this season. Freitas' next match is against Atwater on Tuesday, where she'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Lejarde Made Her Presence Known in Merced's 42-12 Victory
Antonia Lejarde posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. She threw for 253 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.8% of her passes, and also rushed for 53 yards and a touchdown. She has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last six times she's played.
Unfortunately for Buhach Colony, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Lejarde. Lejarde threw for 342 yards and six touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground the last time she and the Thunder duked it out on October 1st.

Madison Hiler and Co. Win Tenth in a Row
Madison Hiler's big game helped extend Atwater's winning streak to ten on Thursday. Hiler rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown on only five carries, and also threw for 89 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Atwater's victory was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 15-4. Hiler and Atwater will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against Los Banos at 7:00 p.m.
Gamescore: 36.03
Ochoa Came Up Big in El Capitan's 28-20 Victory
Ariel Ochoa was a major factor in El Capitan's victory over Los Banos on Thursday. Ochoa did her part (and then some), throwing for 352 yards and four touchdowns while completing 80.4% of her passes for the 'W'.
Ochoa might have her next game, a home matchup with Merced, circled on her calendar. When Ochoa last faced the Bears two weeks ago, she threw for 280 yards and five touchdowns while completing 81% of her passes.
Gamescore: 33.87
Shantelle Magana Makes It Two for El Capitan
Another El Capitan player making an appearance on this list is Shantelle Magana. She picked up 79 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Magana is probably looking forward to her next game, a home matchup against Merced on Thursday. When Magana last faced the Bears two weeks ago, she picked up 91 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
