Sacramento Metro Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Chase Parkinson Delivers Best Effort of Season
Delta was led to victory by Chase Parkinson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Parkinson threw for 310 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes, and also rushed for 60 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for Delta: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
For the season, Parkinson has thrown 21 touchdowns while averaging 243 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 32.72 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 96 passer rating.
Gamescore: 65.82
Emanual Daugherty II Has Career-Day on Saturday
Emanual Daugherty II posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Saturday. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 105 rushing yards dating back to last season. He also punched in three rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Elite is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
The win was the fifth in a row for Elite, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. Daugherty II and Elite will challenge Cordova at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Max Danila Dazzles in Delta Victory
Another Delta player making an appearance on this list is Max Danila. He picked up 175 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 86 yards.
If the past is any indication, Danila could be in store for another big game when he takes on Valley Christian on Friday. Danila picked up 132 receiving yards and four touchdowns the last time he and the Lions duked it out back in October of 2023.

On the year, Alex has run in 2 touchdowns while averaging 64.7 rushing yards per game.
