Brian Bonner Delivers Electric Performance Vs Golden Valley
Valencia picked up their third consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Brian Bonner. Bonner turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 83 yards and four touchdowns, while also picking up 47 receiving yards and a touchdown. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
On the season, Bonner has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 48.4 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 17.
