Sacramento Valley 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!
Lane Brown Dazzles in Winters Win
Lane Brown's big game helped extend Winters's winning streak to ten on Friday. Brown turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 214 yards and three touchdowns while completing 92.9% of his passes, and also rushing for 65 yards on only six carries.
Brown is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Hamilton on Friday. Brown rushed for 132 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries the last time he and the Braves duked it out back in November of 2023.

Winters Wins Tenth-Straight Thanks to Sebastian Rodriguez
Sebastian Rodriguez's big game helped extend Winters's winning streak to ten on Friday. Rodriguez was dynamite, picking up 95 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Rodriguez must have Pierce's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Rodriguez saw the Bears), he rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 48 receiving yards.

Big Game from Marshall As East Nicolaus Won 38-7
Jaydan Marshall was a major factor in East Nicolaus's victory over Colusa on Friday. Nobody could stop Marshall as he rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. He is becoming a predictor of East Nicolaus' success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 4-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
Marshall is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Durham on Friday. Marshall rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries the last time he and the Trojans duked it out two weeks ago.

A Season-Best Effort from Mikey Robbins Leads East Nicolaus over Colusa
On Friday, East Nicolaus got the W thanks in part to Mikey Robbins playing the best football he has all season. Robbins rushed for 51 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 67 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made four total tackles.
Robbins and East Nicolaus will look to defend their home field on Friday against Durham at 7:00 p.m. The game will pit Robbins up against the Trojans' star WR Jack Stephens. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.

Julian Herrera and Co. Win Tenth in a Row
Winters picked up their tenth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Julian Herrera. Nobody could stop Herrera as he made 14 total tackles (4.0 for loss) and defended a pass. He has been hot for a while, having posted seven or more total tackles the last ten times he's played.
On the year, Herrera has averaged 10.8 total tackles per game.
