Skyline Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Koa Regalado Leads Colton over Arroyo Valley
Colton was led to victory by Koa Regalado, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Regalado wasn't messing around, rushing for 128 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, while also throwing for 283 yards and three touchdowns on only 17 passes. The game was his third straight with three or more passing touchdowns dating back to last season. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 66 yards.
Arroyo Valley had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Regalado it was a similar story. When Regalado last faced the Hawks back in October of 2023, he threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 77 yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 65.27
Rashawn Williams put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Thursday. He rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
This year, Williams has run in those 2 touchdowns while averaging 78 rushing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after three games last season, he was only averaging 1.67 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 11.67 receiving yards.

Damian Sanchez Turns in Season-Best Effort

Sanchez rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 91 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Jordan Mckinney's Big Game Leads Carter over Bloomington
Jordan Mckinney was instrumental in extending Carter's winning streak to three on Thursday. Nobody could stop Mckinney as he rushed for 94 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 51 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If the past is any indication, Mckinney could be in store for another big game when he takes on Fontana on Friday. Mckinney picked up 55 receiving yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Steelers duked it out back in September of 2023.

Bloomington Gets a Boost from Seventy in 35-17 Defeat
Rounding off our Top Five is Nicholas Seventy of Bloomington. Seventy rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown.
Seventy and Bloomington will be playing in front of their home fans against Colton at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bruins got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Yellowjackets, probably because Seventy had a solid game then too: he picked up 60 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 42 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
