Tri-Valley - Red 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!
Garrett Hilborn Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Glenn got the W thanks in part to Garrett Hilborn playing the best football he has all season. Hilborn rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 74 receiving yards and a touchdown. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 74 yards.
The win got Glenn back to even at 4-4. Hilborn and Glenn will be playing at home against Swartz Creek at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Another Game with at Least Three Passing Touchdowns from Colton Klein
On Friday, Swan Valley got the W thanks in part to Colton Klein playing the best football he has all season. Klein wasn't messing around, throwing for 370 yards and five touchdowns while completing 88.9% of his passes. The matchup was his third straight with three or more passing touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Swan Valley's success: when he posts at least 250 passing yards the team is 4-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Alma had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Klein it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Klein saw the Panthers), he threw for 147 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 passes, and also rushed for 67 yards on only nine carries.

Dominick Knezek Has Career-Day on Friday
Dominick Knezek produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Garber to the win on Friday. Knezek rushed for 200 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Garber is 2-1 when Knezek posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
On the year, Knezek has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 89.1 rushing yards per game.

A Season-Best Performance from Marcus Joshua Leads Glenn over Powers Catholic
On Friday, Glenn got the W thanks in part to Marcus Joshua playing the best football he has all season. Joshua picked up two sacks and made ten total tackles (3.0 for loss) in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown.
For the season, Joshua has averaged 4.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 sacks.

Big Game from Delisle As Swan Valley Won 45-13
Cal Delisle's big game helped extend Swan Valley's winning streak to five on Friday. Delisle turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 138 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He has become a key player for Swan Valley: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
Unfortunately for Alma, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Delisle. Delisle picked up 124 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.
