Monty Coleman Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Castaic was led to victory by Monty Coleman, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Coleman rushed for 231 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (112.8) per game.

Brady Bretthauer Dazzles in Valencia Win
Keeping Bonner company is Brady Bretthauer, a fellow Valencia player. He threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns while completing 81% of his passes, and also rushed for 31 yards and a touchdown.

On the season, Bretthauer has thrown 17 touchdowns while averaging 226 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 18.88 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 38.38 rushing yards.
