Andre Lopez Turns in Season-Best Effort
American Canyon was led to victory by Andre Lopez, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Lopez's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 101 rushing yards dating back to last season. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 65 yards.
Lopez and American Canyon will take on Petaluma at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The game will pit Lopez up against the Trojans' star running back Brody Stevens. 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.

Mason Harris Turns in Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns
Mason Harris put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He wasn't messing around, rushing for 132 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. The match was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Harris has averaged 111 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had four rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to ten.
