Mountain Valley 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!
Ilya Ridge Turns in Season-Best Effort
Ilya Ridge produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Miller to the win on Friday. Ridge rushed for 258 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.9 yards per carry. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (101.6) per game. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
For the year, Ridge has averaged 54 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had six rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 11.

A Season-Best Effort from Michael Reyes Leads Indian Springs over Miller
Indian Springs came up short on Friday despite Michael Reyes delivering his best game to date. Reyes threw for 454 yards and four touchdowns while completing 71.1% of his passes.
Reyes and Indian Springs will face off against San Bernardino at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. The last time Reyes took on the Cardinals, he threw for 266 yards and a touchdown while picking up 11.1 yards per attempt, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Carter Porter Delivers Best Effort of Season
Indian Springs came up short on Friday despite Carter Porter delivering his best game to date. Porter picked up 158 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making four total tackles.
If history really does repeat itself, Porter might just drop another big game when he faces off against San Bernardino on Friday. Two weeks ago (the last time Porter saw the Cardinals), he picked up 177 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 44.55
Jared Brieske Dazzles in Miller Win
Miller picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jared Brieske. Brieske was dynamite, rushing for 110 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.
For the season, Brieske has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 58.5 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 4.63 rushing yards per game.

David Mancha Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, David Mancha posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Indian Springs over Miller on Friday. Mancha picked up 56 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 35 yards and a touchdown.
Mancha and Indian Springs will face off against San Bernardino at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. Mancha will face off against Angel Cortes-Vazquez, the Cardinals' star rusher. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
