Sierra 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!
Joseph Brown Goes Supernova in Liberty Ranch Victory
Starting off the list is Liberty Ranch's Joseph Brown, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Brown rushed for 284 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 67 yards.
Unfortunately for El Dorado, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Brown. Brown rushed for 135 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 59 receiving yards the last time he and the Cougars duked it out back in September of 2023.

Andrew Quinn Makes It Two for Liberty Ranch
Another Liberty Ranch player making an appearance on this list is Andrew Quinn. He wasn't messing around on Friday, rushing for 170 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry. The contest was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up 0.5 sacks, forced a fumble, and made three total tackles (1.5 for loss).
For the season, Quinn has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 69.3 rushing yards per game.

El Dorado Gets a Boost from Wilson in 56-37 Defeat
El Dorado had to settle for second on Friday, but Jason Wilson sure wasn't going down easily. Wilson was dynamite, rushing for 63 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 239 yards and two touchdowns.
For the season, Wilson has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 145 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 12.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 48.43 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 42.33
Bradshaw Christian Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Nathan Zeppieri
Nathan Zeppieri was instrumental in extending Bradshaw Christian's winning streak to seven on Friday. Union Mine had no answer to Zeppieri as he rushed for 107 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries.
Zeppieri must have Union Mine's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Zeppieri last faced the Diamondbacks back in November of 2023, he rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also caught a touchdown.
