Trans 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!
Caden Bailey Goes Supernova in Hilmar Loss
Caden Bailey's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his 12th-straight game with 100+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 167 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Sonora's probably not too fond of Bailey given he always seems to get the better of them. When Bailey last faced the Wildcats back in September of 2023, he rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries.

Byington Came Up Big in Sonora's 45-28 Win

Eli Ingalls Turns in Season-Best Effort
Eli Ingalls produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Sonora to the win on Friday. Ingalls rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 40 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
For the year, Ingalls has thrown 6 touchdowns (and and only 1 picks) while averaging 77.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging one rushing yard per game. This year he is averaging 41.83 rushing yards.
