Kellon Trubey Turns in Season-Best Effort
Kellon Trubey produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Pinecrest Academy Cadence to the win on Friday. Trubey rushed for 139 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 203 yards and four touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 73 yards.
Trubey and Pinecrest Academy Cadence are on the road again on Thursday to play Del Sol at 6:00 p.m. The last time Trubey took on the Dragons, he threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Another Game with at Least 101 Rushing Yards from Bakari Wilson
Canyon Springs was led to victory by Bakari Wilson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Wilson's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 101 rushing yards. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
The win was the third in a row for Canyon Springs, bringing their record for this year to 3-4. Wilson will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Chaparral on Thursday.

Eldorado Comes Up Short Despite Huge Game from Underclassman Tristan Savea
While Eldorado couldn't topple Spring Valley on Saturday, it's impossible to ignore the impact made by underclassman Tristan Savea. Spring Valley had no answer to Savea as he rushed for 88 yards and three touchdowns.
Eldorado is on a seven-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6. Savea will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Valley on Thursday.
