West Sierra 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!
Hawk Garcia Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Mendota got the W thanks in part to Hawk Garcia playing the best football he has all season. Garcia rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory was the third in a row for Mendota, bringing their record for this year to 5-1. Garcia and Mendota will venture away from home to square off against Dos Palos at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Julius Borjas' Big Game Leads Coalinga over Firebaugh
Julius Borjas's big game helped extend Coalinga's winning streak to six on Friday. Borjas was dynamite, rushing for 125 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Borjas has run in 11 touchdowns while averaging 83.8 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns.

Dylan Teixeira and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Coalinga picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Dylan Teixeira. Teixeira turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 78 receiving yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also made three total tackles and defended two passes in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown.
Teixeira will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Avenal on Friday. The last time Teixeira took on the Buccaneers, he picked up 90 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
