2A-1 Region I District 3 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!
Aaron Segura Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sonora was led to victory by Aaron Segura, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Segura's passing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 322 passing yards dating back to last season. He also passed for six passing touchdowns, which is notable because Sonora is undefeated when he posts at least three passing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
The victory (which was Sonora's fourth in a row) raised their record to 4-2. Segura and Sonora will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Reagan County at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

A Season-Best Performance from Manuel Riojas Leads Christoval over Colorado
Christoval was led to victory by Manuel Riojas, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Riojas rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.1 yards per carry. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making four total tackles.
This year, Riojas has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 55.5 rushing yards per game.

Stanton Mcglothlin Goes Supernova in Christoval Victory
Another Christoval player making an appearance on this list is Stanton McGlothlin. He rushed for 94 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 131 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 passes.
McGlothlin and Christoval will venture away from home to square off against Reagan County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time McGlothlin took on the Owls, he rushed for 97 yards on only nine carries, and also threw for 23 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Brown Posts Huge Game in 44-28 Victory
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Jarrett Brown stepped things up a notch to give Reagan County the 'W'. Ozona had no answer to Brown as he rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 117 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes.
Reagan County's win was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-1. Brown and Reagan County will take on Christoval at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Micheal Daniels Has Career Rushing Day
Micheal Daniels posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. He made 12 total tackles. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 55 yards.
Ozona's defeat ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 4-2. Daniels and Ozona will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Colorado at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
