A Season-Best Performance from Jusyis Solis Leads Aquinas over Ontario Christian
Aquinas was led to victory by Jusyis Solis, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Solis picked up 93 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made five total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Unfortunately for Ontario Christian, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Solis. Solis rushed for 231 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown the last time he and the Knights duked it out back in October of 2023.

Max Krosky Dazzles in Capistrano Valley Christian Defeat
Capistrano Valley Christian had to settle for second on Friday, but Max Krosky sure wasn't going down easily. Valley Christian had no answer to Krosky as he picked up 135 receiving yards and a touchdown. Krosky has become a key player for Capistrano Valley Christian: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least 80 receiving yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Capistrano Valley Christian has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season. Krosky will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Village Christian on Friday.

Joshua Monroe Makes It Two for Capistrano Valley Christian

This year, Monroe has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 22.2 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 23.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 124.83 rushing yards.
