Tri-County - Rock Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Sedrick Vaughn Leads Vallejo over Pinole Valley
On Friday, Vallejo got the W thanks in part to Sedrick Vaughn playing the best football he has all season. Vaughn rushed for 260 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 33 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making two total tackles.
This season, Vaughn has averaged 73.2 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to six.
