Roman Thuyns Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Willow Canyon got the W thanks in part to Roman Thuyns playing the best football he has all season. Thuyns threw for 307 yards and four touchdowns.
Willow Canyon's win ended a six-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 3-4. Thuyns and Willow Canyon will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Apollo at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

A Season-Best Effort from Tyus Dragon Leads Willow Canyon over Agua Fria
Willow Canyon was led to victory by Tyus Dragon, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Dragon picked up 177 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
For the season, Dragon has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 59 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 17.71 receiving yards per game.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Elijah White stepped things up a notch to give Apollo the 'W'. Shadow Ridge had no answer to White as he made a tackle and defended two passes. White also posted 104 receiving yards, which is notable because Apollo is 3-1 when he posts at least 80 receiving yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Apollo now has a winning record of 4-3. White and Apollo will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Willow Canyon at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
