Brison Abbott Goes Supernova in Bakersfield Victory
Bakersfield picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Brison Abbott. Abbott turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 168 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries.
Highland had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Abbott it was a similar story. When Abbott last faced the Scots back in October of 2023, he rushed for 256 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 14.2 yards per carry.

Cavazos Came Up Big in Bakersfield's 55-14 Win
Elijah Cavazos's big game helped extend Bakersfield's winning streak to six on Friday. Nobody could stop Cavazos as he threw for 208 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
This season, Cavazos has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 169.2 passing yards per game.

Preston Mendez's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Preston Mendez posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns.
On the season, Mendez has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 126.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 18.17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 38.5 rushing yards.

Mason Level Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Mason Level posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Ridgeview over Bakersfield Christian on Friday. Level rushed for 27 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Ridgeview is on an 11-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6. Level and Ridgeview will head out to face off against Independence at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.
