San Jacinto Valley Academy's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Jonathan Foreman III
Jonathan Foreman III helped snap San Jacinto Valley Academy's eight-game losing streak dating back to last season. Foreman III produced his best game of the campaign on Friday: he forced two fumbles, made 13 total tackles, and defended a pass. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 78 yards.

A Season-Best Effort from Brayden Hutchinson Leads San Jacinto Valley Academy over Nuview Bridge
On Friday, San Jacinto Valley Academy got the W thanks in part to Brayden Hutchinson playing the best football he has all season. 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 Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
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 victory (which was Vasquez's fourth in a row) raised their record to 4-3. Sanchez and Vasquez will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Nuview Bridge at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

William Hamlett Dazzles in Hamilton Loss
While William Hamlett delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Hamilton. Despite the loss, Hamlett was still balling out as he rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. He is becoming a predictor of Hamilton's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
The defeat snapped Hamilton's winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-4 record. Hamlett and Hamilton will take on Desert Chapel at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.

The victory was the sixth in a row for Desert Christian Academy, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Priest and Desert Christian Academy will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Hamilton at 7:00 p.m. on October 24th.
