Carson Medina Delivers Best Performance of Season
Escalon was led to victory by Carson Medina, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Medina rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.

Merek Ellerd's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Hilmar over Summerville
While Hilmar might've come up empty on Friday, Merek Ellerd wasn't going down without a fight. Ellerd was unstoppable, rushing for 100 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, while also throwing for 79 yards and a touchdown.
Hilmar has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-4 record this season. Ellerd and Hilmar will host Hughson at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Cady Came Up Big in Ripon Christian's 43-20 Defeat
While Amos Cady delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Ripon Christian. Cady was unstoppable, picking up 61 receiving yards, while also rushing for 54 yards.
For the year, Cady has averaged 44.4 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 6.14 receiving yards per game.

Caden Bailey Makes It Two for Hilmar
The second Hilmar player making an appearance here is Caden Bailey, and for good reason. He rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 78 yards.
Bailey might have his next game, a home matchup with Hughson, circled on his calendar. Bailey rushed for 181 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per carry the last time he and the Huskies duked it out back in October of 2023.
