Jusyis Solis Turns in Season-Best Effort
Jusyis Solis produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Aquinas to the win on Friday. Solis picked up 93 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making five total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Solis must have Ontario Christian's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Solis saw the Knights), he rushed for 231 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown.

Krosky Made His Presence Known in Capistrano Valley Christian's 33-13 Loss
While Capistrano Valley Christian might've come up empty on Friday, Max Krosky wasn't going down without a fight. Nobody could stop Krosky as he picked up 135 receiving yards and a touchdown. He has become a key player for Capistrano Valley Christian: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least 80 receiving yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Capistrano Valley Christian has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season. Krosky and Capistrano Valley Christian will face off against Village Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Joshua Monroe Makes It Two for Capistrano Valley Christian

On the season, Monroe has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 22.2 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 23.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 124.83 rushing yards.
