Brian Bonner's Big Game Leads Valencia over Golden Valley
Valencia picked up their third consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Brian Bonner. Bonner did his part (and then some), rushing for 83 yards and four touchdowns, while also picking up 47 receiving yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. 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.
Bonner and Valencia will take on Hart at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Bonner took on the Hawks, he picked up 47 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 47 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

A Season-Best Effort from Khanai Langford Leads Castaic over West Ranch
Khanai Langford produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Castaic to the win on Thursday. Langford threw for 207 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 40 yards and two touchdowns.
Langford and Castaic will take on Saugus at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Langford will face off against Jake Nuttall, the Centurions' star signal caller. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
