Tri-County - Sequoia Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jackson Leibee Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Immanuel got the W thanks in part to Jackson Leibee playing the best football he has all season. Leibee rushed for 203 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also picked up 32 receiving yards. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (111.3). He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 89-yard run.
The victory for Immanuel keeps them at an undefeated 7-0. Leibee and Immanuel will challenge Central Valley Christian at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Jacob Molina Leads Exeter over Washington Union
Exeter was led to victory by Jacob Molina, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Molina rushed for 96 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 184 yards and two touchdowns on only 17 passes. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
Molina is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Hanford West on Thursday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Molina saw the Huskies), he threw for 296 yards and five touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes, and also punched in a rushing score.
