Trans Valley Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Carson Medina Leads Escalon over Ripon Christian
On Friday, Escalon got the W thanks in part to Carson Medina playing the best football he has all season. 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.
This season, Medina has run in those 1 touchdown while averaging 23.7 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 0.57 rushing yards per game.

Merek Ellerd Delivers Electric Performance Vs Summerville
Hilmar had to settle for second on Friday, but Merek Ellerd sure wasn't going down easily. Summerville had no answer to Ellerd as he rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, and also threw for 79 yards and a touchdown.
Hilmar has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games, 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.
Gamescore: 30.17
Big Game from Cady As Ripon Christian Fell 43-20
While Ripon Christian might've come up empty on Friday, Amos Cady wasn't going down without a fight. Cady was dynamite, picking up 61 receiving yards, while also rushing for 54 yards.
On the season, Cady has averaged 44.4 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 6.14 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 26.28
Caden Bailey Makes It Two for Hilmar
Another Hilmar player making an appearance on this list is Caden Bailey. 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 is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Hughson on Friday. When Bailey last faced the Huskies back in October of 2023, he rushed for 181 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per carry.
