Caden Rawson Dazzles in Moapa Valley Victory
The second Moapa Valley player making an appearance here is Caden Rawson, and for good reason. He rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making three total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
This year, Rawson has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 55.9 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 3.88 rushing yards per game.

Damien Nevil Makes Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Damien Nevil of Sports Leadership & Management. Nevil picked up 72 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 109 yards.
Nevil must have Virgin Valley's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Nevil saw the Bulldogs), he rushed for 240 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.9 yards per carry.
