River Valley Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Sincere Tolbert Goes Supernova in Ramona Win
Sincere Tolbert's big game helped extend Ramona's winning streak to 12 on Thursday. Tolbert did his part (and then some), rushing for 148 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.7 yards per carry, and also picking up 37 receiving yards for the 'W'. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his tenth straight game with at least 101 rushing yards dating back to last season.
La Sierra's probably not too fond of Tolbert given he always seems to get the better of them. When Tolbert last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 50.58
Felix Posts Huge Game in 28-21 Loss
Josiah Felix continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 107 rushing yards. He rushed for 170 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.6 yards per carry.
Unfortunately for Norte Vista, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Felix. When Felix last faced the Braves back in October of 2023, he rushed for 87 yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 35.10
Seth Bolender Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Norte Vista got the W thanks in part to Seth Bolender playing the best football he has all season. Bolender rushed for 44 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 168 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The win for Norte Vista keeps them at an undefeated 6-0. Bolender and Norte Vista will challenge Ramona at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
