Sierra Valley 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!
Joseph Brown Dazzles in Liberty Ranch Win
Starting off the list is Liberty Ranch's Joseph Brown, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Brown rushed for 284 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per carry. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 67 yards.
El Dorado had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Brown it was a similar story. When Brown last faced the Cougars back in September of 2023, he rushed for 135 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 59 receiving yards.

Andrew Quinn Makes It Two for Liberty Ranch
Keeping Brown company is Andrew Quinn, a fellow Liberty Ranch player. He wasn't messing around on Friday, rushing for 170 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry. The game was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up 0.5 sacks, forced a fumble, and made three total tackles (1.5 for loss).
On the year, Quinn has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 69.3 rushing yards per game.

Jason Wilson Goes Supernova in El Dorado Loss
While El Dorado might've come up empty on Friday, Jason Wilson wasn't going down without a fight. Liberty Ranch had no answer to Wilson as he rushed for 63 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 239 yards and two touchdowns.
This season, Wilson has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 145 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 12.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 48.43 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 42.33
Big Game from Zeppieri As Bradshaw Christian Won 35-0
Bradshaw Christian picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Nathan Zeppieri. Nobody could stop Zeppieri as he rushed for 107 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries.
Unfortunately for Union Mine, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Zeppieri. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Zeppieri saw the Diamondbacks), he rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also caught a touchdown.
