Shasta Cascade Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Darren Goodman Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Redding Christian got the W thanks in part to Darren Goodman playing the best football he has all season. Goodman picked up 142 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He has become a key player for Redding Christian: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least 80 receiving yards, but 1-3 otherwise.
Redding Christian is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games, which provided a massive bump to their 3-4 record this season. Goodman will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Etna on Friday.

Etna Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Nate Downey
Etna picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Nate Downey. Downey's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 113 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Etna pushed their record up to 6-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season. Downey and Etna will square off against Redding Christian at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Horton Made His Presence Known in Weed's 35-30 Win
Weed took down Modoc on Friday, a win that might not have happened without Marcus Horton's standout effort. Nobody could stop Horton as he rushed for 97 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 144 yards and two touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble.
On the season, Horton has thrown 9 touchdowns while averaging 100.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 52.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 154.43 rushing yards.

Another Game with at Least Three Passing Touchdowns from Wyatt Shaw
Another Redding Christian player making an appearance on this list is Wyatt Shaw. He threw for 319 yards and four touchdowns. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last four times he's played.
Shaw and Redding Christian will venture away from home to challenge Etna at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The game will pit Shaw up against Etna's star QB Noah Hubbard. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
