Manzanita Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
San Jacinto Valley Academy's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Jonathan Foreman III
San Jacinto Valley Academy's eight-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Jonathan Foreman III. Foreman III turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday, forcing two fumbles, making 13 total tackles, and defending a pass. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 78 yards.
San Jacinto Valley Academy's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-6. Foreman III will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against California Military Institute on Saturday.

A Season-Best Effort from Brayden Hutchinson Leads San Jacinto Valley Academy over Nuview Bridge
San Jacinto Valley Academy was led to victory by Brayden Hutchinson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Hutchinson threw for 226 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also rushed for 40 yards and two touchdowns.
This season, Hutchinson has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 96.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 13.99 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 79.43 passer rating.

Nathan Sanchez Has Career-Day on Friday
On Friday, Vasquez got the W thanks in part to Nathan Sanchez playing the best football he has all season. Sanchez rushed for 129 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The win was the fourth in a row for Vasquez, bringing their record for this year to 4-3. Sanchez will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Desert Christian Academy on Friday.

William Hamlett Dazzles in Hamilton Defeat
While William Hamlett delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Hamilton. Hamlett was dynamite, rushing for 154 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. His longest rush was for an incredible 70 yards.
With the defeat, Hamilton broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 3-4. Hamlett and Hamilton will venture away from home to challenge Desert Chapel at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
