Thomas Vargas continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 145 yards and two TDs on only seven carries, while also catching one touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 102 rushing yards. Another player making a difference was Brandt Jones, who threw for 119 yards and a pair of TDs.
Carey's loss came despite a true team effort from the offense with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Stockton Sears, who rushed for 136 yards and a pair of scores on only 15 carries. Sears' longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. The team also got some help courtesy of Will Parke, who picked up 59 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Valley is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 41.3 points over those games. Having lost for the first time this season, Carey fell to 8-1.
As of now, neither Valley nor the Panthers have any future games scheduled.
