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's Big Game Leads Liberty Ranch over El Dorado
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.
Brown must have El Dorado's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. 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
Another Liberty Ranch player making an appearance on this list is Andrew Quinn. He wasn't messing around on Friday, rushing for 170 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry. The matchup was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up 0.5 sacks, forcing a fumble, and making three total tackles (1.5 for loss).
This season, 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. Despite the defeat, Wilson was still balling out as he rushed for 63 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 239 yards and two touchdowns.
On the year, Wilson has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 145 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 12.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 48.43 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 42.33
Zeppieri Came Up Big in Bradshaw Christian's 35-0 Win
Nathan Zeppieri's big game helped extend Bradshaw Christian's winning streak to seven on Friday. Zeppieri did his part (and then some), rushing for 107 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries for the 'W'.
Union Mine's probably not too fond of Zeppieri given he always seems to get the better of them. 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.
Gamescore: 39.88
Argonaut's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Seth Mitchell
Thanks in part to Seth Mitchell, Argonaut said goodbye to their four-game losing streak. Rosemont had no answer to Mitchell on Friday as he rushed for 172 yards and two touchdowns. Mitchell really tore up the turf during one magnificent 76-yard run.
For the year, Mitchell has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 142.8 rushing yards per game.
