Brady Smigiel's Big Game Leads Newbury Park over Calabasas
Newbury Park picked up their seventh consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Brady Smigiel. Smigiel was dynamite, throwing for 263 yards and four touchdowns on only 19 passes, while also punching in a touchdown on the ground. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
Newbury Park's victory was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Smigiel will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Westlake on Friday.

Rio Mesa Gets a Boost from Bautista in 41-28 Win
Isaiah Bautista's big game helped extend Rio Mesa's winning streak to three on Thursday. Bautista did his part (and then some), rushing for 49 yards and three touchdowns for the 'W'.
On the season, Bautista has averaged 15.7 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 47.86 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 80.43 rushing yards.

Bell Posts Huge Game in 41-14 Loss
While Demanie Bell delivered a dominant performance on Thursday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Westlake. Nobody could stop Bell as he rushed for 135 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Westlake is on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 0-7. Bell and Westlake will head out on the road to challenge Newbury Park at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
