Daniel Gomez's Big Game Leads Hanford over Tulare Western
Hanford picked up their eighth consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Daniel Gomez. Gomez was dynamite, throwing for 328 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.1 yards per attempt, and also rushing for 48 yards and a touchdown.
Gomez is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Mission Oak on Friday. When Gomez last faced the Hawks back in October of 2023, he threw for 289 yards and four touchdowns while completing 73.3% of his passes.

Aiden Mcdaniel Turns in Season-Best Performance
Lemoore was led to victory by Aiden McDaniel, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. McDaniel threw for 200 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown on only five carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
McDaniel and Lemoore are on the road again on Friday to play Tulare Western at 7:30 p.m. McDaniel will face off against Juju Hernandez, the Mustangs' star quarterback. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

Crisp Posts Huge Game in 42-0 Victory
Tulare Union found a leader in Jordan Crisp as the team took down Mission Oak on Friday. Crisp did his part (and then some), rushing for ten yards and three touchdowns, while also throwing for 178 yards and two touchdowns while completing 76.9% of his passes for the 'W'.
Crisp might have his next game, a road matchup with Dinuba, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Crisp saw the Emperors), he threw for 306 yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
