Brady Smigiel Dazzles in Newbury Park Victory
Brady Smigiel was instrumental in extending Newbury Park's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Calabasas had no answer to Smigiel as he threw for 263 yards and four touchdowns on only 19 passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Smigiel is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
Newbury Park pushed their record up to 7-0 with the victory, which was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season. Smigiel and Newbury Park will be playing in front of their home fans against Westlake at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Isaiah Bautista and Co. Win Third in a Row
Rio Mesa picked up their third consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Isaiah Bautista. Nobody could stop Bautista as he rushed for 49 yards and three touchdowns.
On the season, Bautista has averaged 15.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 47.86 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 80.43 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 35.60
Big Game from Bell As Westlake Fell 41-14
Westlake was sadly handed a defeat on Thursday, but Demanie Bell did his best to prevent it. Bell was unstoppable, rushing for 135 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Westlake is on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 0-7. Bell and Westlake will head out to square off against Newbury Park at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
