A Season-Best Performance from Zaden Wolf Leads Central Valley over Twin Loup
Central Valley was led to victory by Zaden Wolf, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Wolf rushed for 216 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 57 yards and two touchdowns. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (119) per game. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
The victory (which was Central Valley's third in a row) raised their record to 5-1. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cougars challenges Palmer at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 82.05
Big Game from Reimers As Palmer Won 36-28
Gatlin Reimers continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He made 19 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Reimers must have Chambers/Wheeler Central's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Reimers last faced the Renegades back in September of 2023, he made 26 total tackles.
Gamescore: 63.68
Cooper Pokorny Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Chambers/Wheeler Central had to settle for second on Friday, but Cooper Pokorny sure wasn't going down easily. Pokorny showed up in a big way, rushing for 102 yards and a touchdown, while also picking up 49 receiving yards and a touchdown. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (100.2). He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 58 yards.
Chambers/Wheeler Central is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-4. Pokorny will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Burwell on Friday.
