California - Division I (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Levi Cavalli Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Saturday, Hayfork got the W thanks in part to Levi Cavalli playing the best football he has all season. Cavalli rushed for 286 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. His longest rush was for an incredible 82 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Cavalli might just drop another big game when he faces off against Chester on Friday. When Cavalli last faced the Volcanoes two weeks ago, he rushed for 232 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries.

Big Game from Silva As Tulelake Won 64-8
Xavier Silva was instrumental in extending Tulelake's winning streak to three on Friday. Burney had no answer to Silva as he rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, and also threw for 84 yards and a touchdown on only five passes.
Burney had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Silva it was a similar story. Silva rushed for 43 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 138 yards and two touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes the last time he and the Raiders duked it out back in October of 2023.

Hayfork Wins 20th-Straight Thanks to Devin Nanez
Hayfork picked up their 20th consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to Devin Nanez. Nanez produced his best game of the campaign : he rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Nanez might have his next game, a road matchup with Chester, circled on his calendar. Nanez rushed for 141 yards and a touchdown on only five carries the last time he and the Volcanoes duked it out two weeks ago.

Danny Garcia Turns in Season-Best Performance
Danny Garcia produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Tulelake to the win on Friday. Garcia rushed for 168 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He didn't just play on offense: he also made three total tackles and defended a pass.
Garcia must have Burney's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Garcia rushed for 232 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.2 yards per carry the last time he and the Raiders duked it out back in October of 2023.

Callan Wiseman Delivers Electric Performance Vs Plumas Charter
Rounding off our Top Five is Callan Wiseman of Chester. Wiseman rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making 11 total tackles.
Chester is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-4. Wiseman's next match is against Hayfork on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
