Marcus Meras Turns in Season-Best Effort
Marcus Meras produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Sutter to the win on Friday. Meras rushed for 164 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 64 yards.
Meras and Sutter will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Casa Roble at 7:15 p.m. on November 1st. The match will pit Meras up against the Rams' star running back Braylen Blevins. Will the game be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Blevins Posts Huge Game in 44-20 Victory
Braylen Blevins posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 175 yards while picking up 8.8 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 125 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Blevins must have Dixon's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Blevins last faced Dixon back in October of 2023, he rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also caught a touchdown.
