Central California - CCC 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!
Jeremiah Delarosa Delivers Best Effort of Season
Jeremiah Delarosa produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Atwater to the win on Friday. Delarosa rushed for 129 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now punched in two or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
The win was the third in a row for Atwater, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Delarosa's next match is against Golden Valley on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Merced Gets a Boost from Dupree in 45-7 Win
Merced picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Quintell Dupree. Los Banos had no answer to Dupree as he threw for 191 yards and three touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Dupree might have his next game, a home matchup with El Capitan, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Dupree saw the Gauchos), he threw for 176 yards and four touchdowns on perfect 5-for-5 passing.

This year, Higareda has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 38.4 receiving yards per game.

While Lorenzo Peters delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for El Capitan. Peters turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 54 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.
