West Sierra 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!
Noah Tasi Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Noah Tasi produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Coalinga to the win on Friday. Tasi threw for 375 yards and six touchdowns while completing 85% of his passes. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 3.1 passing touchdowns per game.
Tasi and Coalinga are taking a road trip to challenge Mendota at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Horned Toads got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Aztecs, probably because Tasi had a solid game then too: he threw for 218 yards and three touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Dylan Teixeira Delivers Best Performance of Season
Dylan Teixeira produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Coalinga to the win on Friday. Teixeira picked up 184 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average receiving yardage north of 100 yards per game (100.9). He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 65 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Teixeira might just drop another big game when he faces off against Mendota on Friday. When Teixeira last faced the Aztecs back in October of 2023, he picked up 125 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
