Sacramento Metro Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Effort from Chase Parkinson Leads Delta over Esparto
On Friday, Delta got the W thanks in part to Chase Parkinson playing the best football he has all season. Parkinson threw for 310 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes, and also rushed for 60 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Delta is 2-1 when Parkinson posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
This year, Parkinson has thrown 21 touchdowns while averaging 243 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 32.72 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 96 passer rating.
Gamescore: 65.82
Emanual Daugherty II Has Career Rushing Day
Emanual Daugherty II posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Saturday. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 105 rushing yards. He also punched in three rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Elite is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
The victory was the fifth in a row for Elite, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. Daugherty II and Elite will face off against Cordova at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Gamescore: 62.23
Danila Posts Huge Game in 46-8 Victory
The second Delta player making an appearance here is Max Danila, and for good reason. He picked up 175 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 86 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Danila might just drop another big game when he faces off against Valley Christian on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Danila saw the Lions), he picked up 132 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
Gamescore: 42.58
Elite Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Malachi Alex
Malachi Alex's big game helped extend Elite's winning streak to five on Saturday. Alex turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 85 yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made seven total tackles.
This year, Alex has run in 2 touchdowns while averaging 64.7 rushing yards per game.

Savion Mccray and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Savion McCray's big game helped extend Elite's winning streak to five on Saturday. McCray was dynamite, picking up 100 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Elite is undefeated when McCray posts two or more receiving touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
For the year, McCray has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 89.8 receiving yards per game.
