Ryan Estrada Delivers Best Performance of Season

Estrada and El Dorado will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Bel Air at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th. Estrada will face off against Eddie Reyes, the Highlanders' star rusher. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game.

Johnson Made His Presence Known in Americas' 45-14 Win
Cam'Ron Johnson was a major factor in Americas's win over Bel Air on Thursday. Johnson did his part (and then some), rushing for 208 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries for the 'W'. His longest rush was for an incredible 80 yards.
Johnson is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Parkland on Friday. When Johnson last faced the Matadors two weeks ago, he rushed for 265 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.6 yards per carry.

Elijah Issa Turns in Season-Best Effort
Elijah Issa produced his most outstanding game to date while leading El Dorado to the win on Friday. Issa rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 176 yards and a touchdown on only 16 passes.
Issa and El Dorado will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Bel Air at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th. The matchup will pit Issa up against the Highlanders' star quarterback Angel Dominguez. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

A Season-Best Effort from Jayden Macias Leads Parkland over El Dorado
Sadly, Jayden Macias posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Parkland over El Dorado on Friday. Macias rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 84 receiving yards.
Macias and Parkland will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Americas at 6:30 p.m. on October 25th. Macias will face off against Cam'Ron Johnson, the Trail Blazers' star running back. Will the game be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
