East Yosemite Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Effort from Jimmie Burk Leads Redwood over Porterville
Jimmie Burk produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Redwood to the win on Friday. Burk rushed for 236 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 33 receiving yards and a touchdown. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (111.7) per game. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
If the past is any indication, Burk could be in store for another big game when he takes on Monache on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Burk saw the Marauders), he rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries.

Case Anders Delivers Electric Performance Vs Mt. Whitney

Monache Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Ty Baxter
Ty Baxter's big game helped extend Monache's winning streak to five on Friday. Nobody could stop Baxter as he rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries.
Baxter must have El Diamante's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Baxter last faced the Miners back in October of 2023, he rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 92 receiving yards and a touchdown.
