Valley Oak Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jeremiah Lugo Dazzles in Patterson Win
Starting off the list is Patterson's Jeremiah Lugo, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Lugo rushed for 82 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, and also picked up 78 receiving yards and a touchdown. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.
Lugo and Patterson will square off against Manteca at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The game will pit Lugo up against the Buffaloes' star running back Nikko Juarez. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Coby Joseph Delivers Best Effort of Season
Coby Joseph produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Patterson to the win on Friday. Joseph rushed for 142 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries.
Joseph's next game is against Manteca on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort. The contest will pit Joseph up against the Buffaloes' star running back Nikko Juarez. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Big Game from Juarez As Manteca Won 49-0
Nikko Juarez's big game helped extend Manteca's winning streak to five on Friday. Juarez was dynamite, rushing for 141 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries.
Juarez must have East Union's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Juarez last faced the Lancers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
Gamescore: 36.60
Another Game with at Least 143 Rushing Yards from Wes Burford
Wes Burford's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his eighth-straight game with 143+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 153 yards and two touchdowns.
Burford is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Sierra on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Burford saw the Timberwolves), he rushed for 287 yards and four touchdowns.

Joey Alcutt Makes Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Joey Alcutt of Central Catholic. Alcutt rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. He has become a key player for Central Catholic: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Alcutt must have Oakdale's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Alcutt picked up 72 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 30 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Mustangs duked it out back in October of 2023.
