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!
Brown Posts Huge Game in 50-27 Victory
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 188 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 54 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Brown is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against El Dorado on Friday. Brown rushed for 135 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 59 receiving yards the last time he and the Cougars duked it out back in September of 2023.

Nathan Zeppieri Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Bradshaw Christian got the W thanks in part to Nathan Zeppieri playing the best football he has all season. Zeppieri picked up 100 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 98 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. His longest reception was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per catch total.
Zeppieri might have his next game, a home matchup with Union Mine, circled on his calendar. 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.

A Season-Best Performance from Jason Wilson Leads El Dorado over Galt
On Friday, El Dorado got the W thanks in part to Jason Wilson playing the best football he has all season. Wilson threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.6 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown. El Dorado is 2-1 when Wilson posts three or more passing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
For the season, Wilson has thrown 5 touchdowns while averaging 129.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 16 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 46 rushing yards.
