South Yosemite - Mountain 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Anthwone Jones Leads South over Mira Monte
On Friday, South got the W thanks in part to Anthwone Jones playing the best football he has all season. Jones picked up 125 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 87 yards.
The win (which was South's sixth in a row) raised their record to 7-1. Jones and South will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Tehachapi at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.
