Kayne Horibe Turns in Season-Best Performance

Big Game from Dixon As Virgin Valley Won 48-7
Drew Dixon was instrumental in extending Virgin Valley's winning streak to three on Saturday. Dixon was dynamite, rushing for 145 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, while also catching a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 53 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Dixon has run in 11 touchdowns while averaging 122.1 rushing yards per game.

Austin Alvarez Makes It Two for Pahrump Valley
The second Pahrump Valley player making an appearance here is Austin Alvarez, and for good reason. He picked up 46 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He is becoming a predictor of Pahrump Valley's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
On the year, Alvarez has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 42.3 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 38.60
The second Virgin Valley player making an appearance here is Decker Lee, and for good reason. He rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries.
Boulder City's probably not too fond of Lee given he always seems to get the better of them. Lee rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in September of 2023.
Gamescore: 37.85
Another Virgin Valley player making an appearance on this list is Koby Perry. He threw for 230 yards and three touchdowns on only nine passes.
For the year, Perry has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 138 passing yards per game.
