Pacific Coast - Mission North 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!
Nico Downie Turns in Season-Best Effort
Monte Vista Christian was led to victory by Nico Downie, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Downie's receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked his ninth straight game with at least 128 receiving yards dating back to last season. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 81 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Downie might just drop another big game when he faces off against North Monterey County on Friday. Downie picked up 107 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Condors duked it out back in September of 2023.
