Atticus Enriquez's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Mt. Carmel over Del Norte
While Mt. Carmel might've come up empty on Friday, Atticus Enriquez wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the defeat, Enriquez was still balling out as he picked up 91 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown.
Mt. Carmel's loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 5-3. Enriquez and Mt. Carmel will square off against Fallbrook at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.

Riley Valecruz's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Sadly, Riley Valecruz posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Mt. Carmel over Del Norte on Friday. Valecruz picked up 142 receiving yards and two touchdowns, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
If history really does repeat itself, Valecruz might just drop another big game when he faces off against Fallbrook on Friday. Valecruz picked up 162 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in October of 2023.
