Walnut came up short on Friday despite Christopher Mardueno delivering his best game to date. Mardueno rushed for 140 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.4 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Walnut's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
Mardueno will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Los Altos on Friday. Mardueno will face off against Daryen Hernandez on Friday, the Conquerors' star rusher. Will the game be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
