Palomar 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!
Diesel Taylor Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Del Norte got the W thanks in part to Diesel Taylor playing the best football he has all season. Taylor threw for 143 yards and four touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He is becoming a predictor of Del Norte's success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Del Norte now has a winning record of 4-3. Taylor and Del Norte will square off against Mt. Carmel at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Gavin Valencia stepped things up a notch to give Rancho Bernardo the 'W'. Valencia was unstoppable, making nine total tackles.
Rancho Bernardo pushed their record up to 6-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Valencia and Rancho Bernardo will head out on the road to take on Fallbrook at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
