Erick Stubbs continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his sixth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 111 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 47 receiving yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Stubbs might just drop another big game when he faces off against Huntington Park on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Stubbs saw the Spartans), he rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries.

Aethan Espinosa Makes It Two for South East
The second South East player making an appearance here is Aethan Espinosa, and for good reason. He wasn't messing around on Friday, picking up two sacks and making nine total tackles (5.0 for loss). The game was his eighth straight with seven or more total tackles dating back to last season.
This season, Espinosa has averaged 9.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 2.5 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 4.75 total tackles per game.
