Hacienda Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Christopher Mardueno Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Christopher Mardueno posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Walnut over Covina on Friday. Mardueno rushed for 140 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.4 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Walnut's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
Walnut is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-4. Mardueno and Walnut will venture away from home to square off against Los Altos at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Aamir Zayid Makes It Two for Walnut

For the season, Zayid has run in those 1 touchdown while averaging 24.3 rushing yards per game.
