Reed's will try to catch a pass or two from Elliot Reed the Warriors' star signal caller Will Elliot have another big offensive game, or will Adrik keep him contained?

Another Mountain View player making an appearance on this list is Brady Goodman. He threw for 184 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 33 yards and a touchdown. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last six games he's played.
This season, Goodman has thrown 25 touchdowns (and and only 3 pick) while averaging 210.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 79.81 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 124.5 passer rating.

A Season-Best Effort from Pharis Jenkins Leads Cesar Chavez over Westwood
On Thursday, Cesar Chavez got the W thanks in part to Pharis Jenkins playing the best football he has all season. Jenkins rushed for 170 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.0 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 54 yards.
Jenkins and Cesar Chavez will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Mountain View at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st. The matchup will pit Jenkins up against the Toros' star RB Reese Bodily. 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.
