A Season-Best Performance from Janessa Barnes Leads Sierra over Manteca
Sierra was led to victory by Janessa Barnes, who turned in her biggest game of the season on Thursday. Barnes wasn't messing around, picking up 123 receiving yards and four touchdowns. The match was her fourth straight with two or more receiving touchdowns dating back to last season. She was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 60 yards.
Manteca's probably not too fond of Barnes given she always seems to get the better of them. When Barnes last faced the Buffaloes last Tuesday, she picked up 94 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
