Josh Gonzales Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Josh Gonzales produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Escondido to the win on Friday. Gonzales picked up 206 receiving yards and five touchdowns. He's now once again averaging 100+ receiving yards (116) per game.

Big Game from Mitchell As Valley Center Won 56-0
Braylon Mitchell put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He threw for 208 yards and three touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes.
A feisty cat fight will be fought when Jaguars takes on Escondido at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Jaguars got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Cougars, probably because Mitchell had a solid game then too: he threw for 194 yards and three touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Bear Morales Makes It Two for Valley Center
Keeping Mitchell company is Bear Morales, a fellow Valley Center player. He rushed for 71 yards and three touchdowns.
This year, Morales has averaged 19 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.71 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 93 rushing yards.
