Central California Conference Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Emily Gallegos Turns in Season-Best Effort
Emily Gallegos produced her most outstanding game to date while leading Buhach Colony to the win on Thursday. Gallegos' receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked her fourth straight game with at least 100 receiving yards. She also posted 160 receiving yards, which is notable because Buhach Colony is 4-2 when she posts at least 80 receiving yards, but 4-7 otherwise.
Los Banos's probably not too fond of Gallegos given she always seems to get the better of them. Back in September (the last time Gallegos saw the Tigers), she rushed for 108 yards on only five carries, and also picked up 45 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 67.80
Lejarde Came Up Big in Merced's 39-12 Victory
Antonia Lejarde continued her hot streak on Thursday by dropping her fourth-straight game with at least three passing touchdowns. She threw for 264 yards and five touchdowns.
Merced has been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten contests, which provided a nice bump to their 13-5 record this season. Lejarde and Merced are taking a road trip to challenge Atwater at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Gamescore: 43.20
While Siena Freitas delivered a dominant effort on Thursday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Los Banos. Nobody could stop Freitas as he picked up 121 receiving yards and a touchdown. She also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making five total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
Los Banos is on a ten-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-12. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Tigers challenges Golden Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Gamescore: 34.58
Atwater Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Madison Hiler
Madison Hiler's big game helped extend Atwater's winning streak to eight on Thursday. Hiler rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown on only five carries, and also threw for 151 yards and a touchdown while completing 73.3% of her passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Atwater pushed their record up to 13-4 with the win, which was their fifth straight on the road. Hiler and Atwater will challenge Merced at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Gamescore: 26.47
Ryann Perez Delivers Electric Effort Vs Golden Valley
The second Merced player making an appearance here is Ryann Perez, and for good reason. She picked up 59 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 32 yards.
Golden Valley had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Perez it was a similar story. Perez picked up 109 receiving yards and three touchdowns the last time she and the Cougars duked it out back in September.
