Brian Bonner Dazzles in Valencia Victory
Valencia picked up their third consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Brian Bonner. Bonner was dynamite, rushing for 83 yards and four touchdowns, while also picking up 47 receiving yards and a touchdown. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
This season, Bonner has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 48.4 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 17.

Khanai Langford Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Thursday, Castaic got the W thanks in part to Khanai Langford playing the best football he has all season. Langford threw for 207 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 40 yards and two touchdowns.
Castaic moved to 3-5 with that victory, which also ended their three-game losing streak. Langford and Castaic will look to defend their home field on Friday against Saugus at 7:00 p.m.

West Ranch Gets a Boost from Deperno in 42-28 Loss
Luke Deperno's rushing tear continued on Thursday as he dropped his third-straight game with 169+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 169 yards and a touchdown, and also caught two touchdowns.
Deperno must have Castaic's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Deperno last faced the Coyotes back in October of 2023, he rushed for 189 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per carry.
