Colton Wiggins Turns in Another Game with at Least Ten Total Tackles

This season, Wiggins has averaged 11 total tackles per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.57 total tackles per game.

A Season-Best Effort from Jaahad Parris Leads Valley Vista over Mountain Ridge

Sadly, Jaahad Parris posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Valley Vista over Mountain Ridge on Friday. Parris rushed for 58 yards and two touchdowns.

Valley Vista's loss was their fourth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-6. Parris will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Boulder Creek on Friday.
