Drew Dixon's Big Game Leads Virgin Valley over Sports Leadership & Management
Drew Dixon's big game helped extend Virgin Valley's winning streak to four on Thursday. Dixon turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 196 yards and two touchdowns. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
Virgin Valley pushed their record up to 7-1 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. Dixon and Virgin Valley will head out to face off against Mater Academy East Las Vegas at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

On the season, Rawson has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 55.9 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 3.88 rushing yards per game.

Damien Nevil Delivers Electric Effort Vs Virgin Valley
Rounding off our Top Five is Damien Nevil of Sports Leadership & Management. Nevil picked up 72 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 109 yards.
Virgin Valley's probably not too fond of Nevil given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Nevil saw the Bulldogs), he rushed for 240 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.9 yards per carry.
