West Sierra 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Hawk Garcia Leads Mendota over Tranquillity
Hawk Garcia produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Mendota to the win on Friday. Garcia rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory was the third in a row for Mendota, bringing their record for this year to 5-1. Garcia will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Dos Palos on Friday.

Julius Borjas Dazzles in Coalinga Win
Julius Borjas was instrumental in extending Coalinga's winning streak to six on Friday. Borjas turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 125 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Borjas has run in 11 touchdowns while averaging 83.8 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns.

Coalinga Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Dylan Teixeira
Dylan Teixeira's big game helped extend Coalinga's winning streak to six on Friday. Nobody could stop Teixeira as he picked up 78 receiving yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also made three total tackles and defended two passes in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown.
Teixeira and Coalinga will be playing in front of their home fans against Avenal at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Horned Toads got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Buccaneers, probably because Teixeira had a solid game then too: he picked up 90 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
