Humboldt-Del Norte - Little 4 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Ferndale Wins 12th-Straight Thanks to Tanner Pidgeon
Ferndale picked up their 12th consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Tanner Pidgeon. Pidgeon wasn't messing around, rushing for 91 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, while also throwing for 63 yards and a touchdown while completing 83.3% of his passes. The contest was his eighth straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season.
Ferndale's win was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-0. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Wildcats challenges Arcata at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 42.85
Big Game from Lemke As Arcata Won 41-6
Luke Lemke was instrumental in extending Arcata's winning streak to six on Saturday. Hoopa Valley had no answer to Lemke as he threw for 163 yards and four touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 65 yards on only six carries.
Hoopa Valley's probably not too fond of Lemke given he always seems to get the better of them. Lemke rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in October of 2023.

Garyn Mcclurg Delivers Best Effort of Season
