Sincere Tolbert Delivers Electric Performance Vs La Sierra
Sincere Tolbert was instrumental in extending Ramona's winning streak to 12 on Thursday. Tolbert was unstoppable, rushing for 148 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.7 yards per carry, and also picking up 37 receiving yards. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his tenth straight game with at least 101 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Unfortunately for La Sierra, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Tolbert. Tolbert rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.

Big Game from Felix As Patriot Fell 28-21
Josiah Felix continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 107 rushing yards. He rushed for 170 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.6 yards per carry.
Norte Vista's probably not too fond of Felix given he always seems to get the better of them. Felix rushed for 87 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Braves duked it out back in October of 2023.
