Dane Dunn Delivers Best Performance of Season

The victory got Sierra Canyon back to even at 3-3. Dunn and Sierra Canyon will square off against Notre Dame (SO) at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Jaxsen Stokes Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Jaxsen Stokes produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Sierra Canyon to the win on Friday. Stokes rushed for 124 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 74 yards.
Stokes' next game is against Notre Dame (SO) on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort. The Trailblazers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Knights, probably because Stokes had a solid game then too: he rushed for 44 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 33.37
On Friday, Serra got the W thanks in part to Jayshawn Edwards playing the best football he has all season. Edwards rushed for 73 yards and four touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the year, Edwards has run in those 4 touchdowns while averaging 18.8 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 5.33 rushing yards per game.
