A Season-Best Performance from Caleb Scaglione Leads Cascade Christian over Klamath Union
Cascade Christian was led to victory by Caleb Scaglione, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Scaglione rushed for 159 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 39 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 98 yards.
Scaglione is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Phoenix on Friday. Scaglione rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries the last time he and the Pirates duked it out back in October of 2023.

Farmer Posts Huge Game in 50-7 Victory
Another Cascade Christian player making an appearance on this list is Deryk Farmer. He rushed for 58 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 67 yards and a touchdown on perfect 6-for-6 passing. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
On the year, Farmer has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 126.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.6 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 69 rushing yards.
