Wyatt Farney Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Wyatt Farney posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Salida over Pagosa Springs on Friday. Farney rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, and also picked up 53 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
On the season, Farney has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 19.2 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 10.2 receiving yards per game.

Lucero Came Up Big in Pagosa Springs' 35-20 Win
Colton Lucero's big game helped extend Pagosa Springs's winning streak to three on Friday. Lucero did his part (and then some), rushing for 150 yards and two touchdowns, while also picking up 32 receiving yards for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
This season, Lucero has averaged 27.4 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he was only averaging 57.2 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 193.2 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 47.15
Dyson Woodward Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Another Alamosa player making an appearance on this list is Dyson Woodward. He rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 90 yards and a touchdown. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (101.4) per game.
Woodward might have his next game, a road matchup with Gunnison, circled on his calendar. When Woodward last faced the Cowboys back in September of 2023, he rushed for 112 yards on only 12 carries, and also threw for 211 yards and a touchdown.
