Redwood Empire - Bay 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!
Gabe Casanovas Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Saturday, St. Vincent de Paul got the W thanks in part to Gabe Casanovas playing the best football he has all season. Casanovas wasn't messing around, throwing for 329 yards and six touchdowns while completing 77.3% of his passes, and also rushing for 36 yards and a touchdown. The matchup was his third straight with three or more passing touchdowns dating back to last season.
Casanovas must have Fortuna's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Casanovas last faced the Huskies back in November of 2023, he rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also threw for 216 yards on 17 of 24 attempts.

Beau David's Big Game Leads Ukiah over Carlmont
Beau David was a major factor in Ukiah's victory over Carlmont on Friday. Carlmont had no answer to David as he rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 177 yards and four touchdowns.
Ukiah now has a winning record of 3-2. David will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Montgomery on Friday.
