Manzanita 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!
San Jacinto Valley Academy's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Jonathan Foreman III
San Jacinto Valley Academy's eight-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Jonathan Foreman III. Foreman III forced two fumbles, made 13 total tackles, and defended a pass, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. His longest reception was for an incredible 78 yards.
San Jacinto Valley Academy's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-6. Foreman III and San Jacinto Valley Academy will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Desert Chapel at 10:30 a.m. on October 26th.

A Season-Best Effort from Brayden Hutchinson Leads San Jacinto Valley Academy over Nuview Bridge
On Friday, San Jacinto Valley Academy got the W thanks in part to Brayden Hutchinson playing the best football he has all season. Hutchinson threw for 226 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also rushed for 40 yards and two touchdowns.
This season, Hutchinson has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 96.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 13.99 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 79.43 passer rating.

Nathan Sanchez Has Career Rushing Day
Vasquez was led to victory by Nathan Sanchez, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Sanchez rushed for 129 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Vasquez, bringing their record for this year to 4-3. Sanchez and Vasquez will take on Desert Christian Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

William Hamlett's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Hamilton over California Military Institute
Hamilton was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but William Hamlett did his best to prevent it. California Military Institute had no answer to Hamlett as he rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. Hamilton is 2-1 when Hamlett posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
The loss snapped Hamilton's winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-4 record. Hamlett and Hamilton will head out to face off against Desert Chapel at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Tyler Priest was instrumental in extending Desert Christian Academy's winning streak to six on Friday. Priest made ten total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Desert Christian Academy pushed their record up to 6-1 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Priest and Desert Christian Academy will play host again on Friday to welcome Vasquez, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m.
