Wyatt Farney Turns in Season-Best Effort
Salida came up short on Friday despite Wyatt Farney delivering his best game to date. Farney rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, and also picked up 53 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
On the year, Farney has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 19.2 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 10.2 receiving yards per game.

Lucero Made His Presence Known in Pagosa Springs' 35-20 Victory
Pagosa Springs picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Colton Lucero. Lucero was dynamite, rushing for 150 yards and two touchdowns, while also picking up 32 receiving yards. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
On the season, Lucero has averaged 27.4 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he was only averaging 57.2 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 193.2 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 47.15
Dyson Woodward Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Another Alamosa player making an appearance on this list is Dyson Woodward. He rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 90 yards and a touchdown. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (101.4).
If history really does repeat itself, Woodward might just drop another big game when he faces off against Gunnison on Friday. Woodward rushed for 112 yards on only 12 carries, and also threw for 211 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Cowboys duked it out back in September of 2023.
