Palomar 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!
Diesel Taylor Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Del Norte got the W thanks in part to Diesel Taylor playing the best football he has all season. Taylor threw for 143 yards and four touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He is becoming a predictor of Del Norte's success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Del Norte now has a winning record of 4-3. Taylor and Del Norte will square off against Mt. Carmel at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 36.03
Gavin Valencia was a major factor in Rancho Bernardo's victory over Ramona on Friday. Nobody could stop Valencia as he made nine total tackles.
Rancho Bernardo's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Valencia and Rancho Bernardo will head out to challenge Fallbrook at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Makihele Made His Presence Known in San Marcos' 38-0 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Kreet Makihele stepped things up a notch to give San Marcos the 'W'. Makihele turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 195 yards and three touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes.
On the season, Makihele has thrown 25 touchdowns while averaging 259.9 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had seven passing touchdowns.
