Stuart Derrick was a major factor in Cascade's win over Salmon River on Friday.

Garden Valley Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Trevor Corn
Trevor Corn was instrumental in extending Garden Valley's winning streak to four on Friday. Nobody could stop Corn as he rushed for 99 yards on only nine carries, and also picked up 40 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making 14 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
This season, Corn has averaged 105.5 rushing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 11 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 23.75 receiving yards.

Keeping Corn company is Maxon Yearsley, a fellow Garden Valley player. He picked up 53 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
For the season, Yearsley has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 83.5 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 8.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 60.25 rushing yards.
