He's been particularly accurate to the short-intermediate areas in his last two outings and looks more comfortable navigating the pocket each week. Thatcher and the AV offense close out September against tough defenses on the road with Desert Pines and Bishop Gorman up next.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19558037/6503e6cc4205fd01d4ae3964">Highlights vs. Coronado</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["819528"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650a9dba3c51d"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cortez found senior WRs [player_tooltip player_id='506033' first='Chase' last='Otteson'] and Asher Jackson for 2 TDs each on his way to 225 yards and 5 TDs on 14/23 passing. He's a fluid, natural athlete that can get the ball out quick from the pocket and threaten with his legs, adding another 75 rushing yards and a TD on 11 carries. Cortez has 18 total TDs (11 pass, 7 rush) in Virgin Valley's 4-1 start.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/gunnercortez4/status/1703891512604692818","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/gunnercortez4/status/1703891512604692818 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["854252"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650a9dba3c56a"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rios accounted for over half of Reed's total yards totaling 213 yards and 2 TDs on 28 carries. Only a sophomore, Rios has been Nevada's most productive back so far this season with 850 yards and 8 TDs. He's a tough, physical runner that provides a powerful downhill running attack. Reed starts league play against McQueen this week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CarterEckl/status/1702527045459378278","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CarterEckl/status/1702527045459378278 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["819544"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650a9dba3c5b3"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sellers was productive and efficient with his 14 carries averaging over 10 ypc on the ground for a total of 184 yards and 4 TDs. He continues to show great vision behind the LOS seeing lane development and can bounce/cut to the hole with square shoulders and low pad level. He's also an active, physical S on defense, adding an INT in the 43-0 win over Wooster. Sellers is one of the more underrated two-way players in Nevada's 5A Division.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jacksell21/status/1703112078159131000","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/jacksell21/status/1703112078159131000 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["820683"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650a9dba3c5fb"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Oliver showed big-play ability racking up 8 catches for 202 yards and a TD in a 39-41 shootout loss to Foothill. He showed natural talent and skillset with creative releases off the LOS and finished contested catches with strong hands, including a highlight one-handed goal line fade for a TD. The junior WR has drawn interest from several MW programs including Nevada, SDSU, Utah St., and an offer from Colorado St.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/_DDomo1/status/1702754161836863825","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/_DDomo1/status/1702754161836863825 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>More Top Performers:&nbsp;</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='506033' first='Chase' last='Otteson'] (WR / 2024 / Virgin Valley): </strong>5 catches, 96 yards, 2 TDs</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Asher Jackson (WR / 2024 / Virgin Valley): </strong>6 catches, 84 yards, 2 TDs; 12 tackles&nbsp;</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='402175' first='Jayden' last='Williams'] (WR / 2026 / Arbor View): </strong>6 catches, 130 yards, 2 TDs</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='819531' first='Mason' last='Dew'] (QB / 2024 / Foothill): </strong>18/27, 322 yards, 3 TDs</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='820692' first='Aidan' last='Crawford'] (QB / 2025 / Legacy): </strong>25/42, 453 yards, 3 TDs</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='876720' first='Amari' last='Nash'] (ATH / 2026 / Damonte Ranch): </strong>5 catches, 79 yards, TD; INT</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>DJ Gonzalez-Brown (RB / 2024 / Damonte Ranch): </strong>15 rushes, 117 yards, 2 TDs</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Rolan Grondin (RB / 2024 / Churchill County): </strong>13 rushes, 160 yards, 2 TDs</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='817779' first='Philip' last='Jacobs'] (QB / 2024 / Bishop Manogue): </strong>11/17, 168 yards, 3 TDs, 2 rush TDs</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Samuel Duran (RB / 2024 / McQueen): </strong>18 rushes, 172 yards, 3 TDs </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1112634' first='Jack' last='Thow'] (QB / 2024 / Green Valley): </strong>20/26, 194 yards, 2 TDs</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='817726' first='Furious' last='Hoskins'] (ATH / 2024 / Palo Verde): </strong>4 catches, 107 yards, 2 TDs&nbsp;</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='821024' first='Chysten' last='Tabangcura'] (ATH / 2024 / SLAM): </strong>7 rushes, 111 yards, TD; 10 tackles, INT</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='820686' first='Damien' last='Nevil'] (ATH / 2025 / SLAM): </strong>14 rushes, 129 yards, TD</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='817752' first='Victor' last='Plotnikov'] (QB / 2024 / Centennial):</strong> 9/15, 102 yards, 4 TDs&nbsp;</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Ty Hanley (RB / 2024 / Centennial): </strong>4 rushes, 96 yards, 3 TDs</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='817775' first='Auhsoj' last='Cunningham'] (RB / 2024 / Sunrise Mountain): </strong>12 rushes, 117 yards, 3 TDs, 10 tackles, 4 TFLs, sack</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Tarrance Masnica (QB / 2024 / Sierra Vista): </strong>15/26, 284 yards, 2 TDs</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1112319' first='Crew' last='Dannels'] (2025 / QB / Palo Verde): </strong>7/12, 178 yards, 3 TDs</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Miguel Renaires (RB / 2025 / Mojave): </strong>24 rushes, 179 yards, 2 TDs</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1112341' first='Decker' last='Lee'] (RB / 2025 / Virgin Valley): </strong>23 rushes, 207 yards, TD</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
