JJ Brutus and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
JJ Brutus was instrumental in extending ALA - West Foothills's winning streak to eight on Friday. Nobody could stop Brutus as he picked up 2.5 sacks, made six total tackles (3.0 for loss), and defended a pass. What's more, he also racked up 115 rushing yards, the most he's had since back in October of 2023.
ALA - West Foothills pushed their record up to 8-0 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Brutus and ALA - West Foothills will host Kofa at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Cotten Made His Presence Known in ALA - West Foothills' 28-0 Victory
ALA - West Foothills picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Hunter Cotten. Nobody could stop Cotten as he picked up a sack and made ten total tackles (3.0 for loss). The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in rushing yards (94).
On the year, Cotten has averaged 10.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 6.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 23 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 42.35
A Season-Best Performance from Avion Bailey Leads Dysart over Page
Avion Bailey produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Dysart to the win on Friday. Bailey rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 54 receiving yards. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August.
Page's probably not too fond of Bailey given he always seems to get the better of them. When Bailey last faced the Sand Devils back in October of 2023, he picked up 159 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
Gamescore: 37.43
Noah Ramirez Dazzles in Dysart Victory
Dysart picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Noah Ramirez. Page had no answer to Ramirez as he made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Page had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Ramirez it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Ramirez saw the Sand Devils), he made five total tackles.
