Trans 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!
Caden Bailey Dazzles in Hilmar Loss
Caden Bailey continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 12th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 100 rushing yards. He rushed for 167 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Sonora's probably not too fond of Bailey given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Bailey saw the Wildcats), he rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries.
Gamescore: 43.88
Brody Speer and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Brody Speer's big game helped extend Sonora's winning streak to six on Friday. Nobody could stop Speer as he picked up 40 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 37 yards.
Sonora pushed their record up to 6-0 with the win, which was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season. Speer and Sonora will head out to challenge Hughson at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Byington Posts Huge Game in 45-28 Victory
Sonora picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Cash Byington. Byington turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 112 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
On the season, Byington has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 66 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns.
Gamescore: 31.90
Eli Ingalls Turns in Season-Best Performance
Eli Ingalls produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Sonora to the win on Friday. Ingalls rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 40 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the season, Ingalls has thrown 6 touchdowns (and and only 1 picks) while averaging 77.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging one rushing yard per game. This year he is averaging 41.83 rushing yards.
