A Season-Best Effort from Kaleo Browne Leads King over Murrieta Mesa
On Friday, King had to settle for second even though Kaleo Browne put up the best numbers he has all season. Browne wasn't messing around, picking up a sack, forcing two fumbles, and making 18 total tackles (3.0 for loss). The contest was his fourth straight with six or more total tackles.
This season, Browne has averaged 9.9 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 sacks. It gets even more impressive: after nine games last season, he had one forced fumble. This year he is already up to two.
Gamescore: 41.25
Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles from Isaiah Casillas
On Friday, Murrieta Mesa got the W thanks in part to Isaiah Casillas playing the best football he has all season. Casillas wasn't messing around, picking up 2.5 sacks, forcing a fumble, and making 12 total tackles (5.0 for loss). The matchup was his sixth straight with six or more total tackles.
This season, Casillas has averaged 7.8 total tackles per game and for the season has 7 sacks.

Mikey Vazquez Turns in Season-Best Effort
Mikey Vazquez produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Great Oak to the win on Friday. Vazquez picked up 192 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 76 yards.
Vazquez and Great Oak will be playing at home against King at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Vazquez will face off against Derek Conn, the Wolves' star receiver. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
Gamescore: 31.53
Ryder Smith Makes It Two for Great Oak
Keeping Vazquez company is Ryder Smith, a fellow Great Oak player. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 114 rushing yards.
Smith and Great Oak will face off against King at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Wolfpack got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Wolves, probably because Smith had a solid game then too: he made 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss). Can he match (or beat) that performance?
