A Season-Best Effort from Josh Elerts Leads Acalanes over Miramonte
Josh Elerts produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Acalanes to the win on Friday. Elerts rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making a tackle.

Roman Mercado Dazzles in Las Lomas Defeat
While Las Lomas might've come up empty on Friday, Roman Mercado wasn't going down without a fight. Nobody could stop Mercado as he picked up 192 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
If the past is any indication, Mercado could be in store for another big game when he takes on Campolindo on Friday. When Mercado last faced the Cougars back in October of 2023, he picked up 204 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Gamescore: 37.87
Big Game from Blair As Miramonte Fell 35-28
Miramonte had to settle for second on Friday, but Carson Blair sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Blair as he threw for 348 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 36 yards and two touchdowns.
Miramonte's defeat dropped their record down to 4-3. Blair and Miramonte will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Las Lomas at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
