A Season-Best Performance from Blake Zanger Leads Leigh over Santa Teresa
On Thursday, Leigh had to settle for second even though Blake Zanger put up the best numbers he has all season. Zanger rushed for 157 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 40 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for Leigh: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 2-3 otherwise.
This year, Zanger has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 28.8 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to five.

Michael Mogannam Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Michael Mogannam posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Leigh over Santa Teresa on Thursday. Mogannam picked up 109 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
On the year, Mogannam has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 54.4 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 9.38 receiving yards per game.

Charlie Lyon Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Charlie Lyon posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Leigh over Santa Teresa on Thursday. Lyon threw for 237 yards and four touchdowns. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (19) he has had since back in November of 2023.
On the season, Lyon has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 188.4 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 35.19 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 82.95 passer rating.
