3A Special District 5 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!
Caleb Scaglione Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Cascade Christian got the W thanks in part to Caleb Scaglione playing the best football he has all season. Scaglione rushed for 159 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 39 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 98 yards.
Scaglione is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Phoenix on Friday. When Scaglione last faced the Pirates back in October of 2023, he rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries.

Deryk Farmer Goes Supernova in Cascade Christian Win

He rushed for 58 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 67 yards and a touchdown on perfect 6-for-6 passing.

For the season, Farmer has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 126.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.6 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 69 rushing yards.
