Shasta Cascade 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!
Darren Goodman Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Redding Christian's Darren Goodman, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Goodman picked up 53 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
If history really does repeat itself, Goodman might just drop another big game when he faces off against Maxwell on Friday. Goodman picked up 143 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in September.

A Season-Best Performance from Lincoln Burlew Leads Redding Christian over Etna
Redding Christian was led to victory by Lincoln Burlew, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Burlew wasn't messing around, picking up a sack and making ten total tackles (3.0 for loss). The game was his seventh straight with six or more total tackles.
On the year, Burlew has averaged 8.5 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging one total tackle per game.

Marcus Horton Puts an End to Weed's Losing Streak on Friday
Weed's three-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Marcus Horton. Horton was unstoppable on Friday, rushing for 91 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 150 yards and a touchdown.
On the season, Horton has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 102.1 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after ten games last season, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 23.

Logan Bowles Makes It Two for Weed
Keeping Horton company is Logan Bowles, a fellow Weed player. He picked up 74 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Bowles is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Los Molinos on Friday. Bowles rushed for 219 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.0 yards per carry the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in September of 2023.
