Greater Sacramento League Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Sariah Williams Goes Supernova in Fairfield Win
Sariah Williams's big game helped extend Fairfield's winning streak to six on Thursday. Williams did her part (and then some), picking up 95 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 80 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 60 yards.
Williams might have her next game, a home matchup with West Campus, circled on her calendar. Back in September (the last time Williams saw the Warriors), she rushed for 97 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 70 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 48.23
While Deyonce Espinal delivered a dominant performance on Thursday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Valley. Nobody could stop Espinal as he picked up three sacks and made three total tackles. She showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 55 yards.
Valley now has a losing record at 6-7. Espinal will have a chance to log another big game when she takes on Armijo on Tuesday.
