Riley Valecruz Has Career Rushing Day
Mt. Carmel came up short on Friday despite Riley Valecruz delivering his best game to date. Valecruz picked up 142 receiving yards and two touchdowns, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Valecruz might have his next game, a road matchup with Fallbrook, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Valecruz saw the Warriors), he picked up 162 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Kreet Makihele Rounds Out Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Kreet Makihele of San Marcos. Makihele threw for 177 yards and four touchdowns while completing 84.6% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Makihele might just drop another big game when he faces off against Rancho Bernardo on Friday. Makihele threw for 353 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 14.7 yards per attempt the last time he and the Broncos duked it out back in October of 2023.
