Gold mines from week two

Sixteen players raised their level of play under the lights in week two. Here's who stood out in Cali Gold Mine's eyes:

RANEIL ROGERS, WIDE RECEIVER, WASHINGTON UNION

Rogers, a senior, had a breakout night of seven catches, 139 yards and two touchdowns in the Panthers' thrilling 48-42 overtime victory against Kingsburg.

JOSH SIERRA, QUARTERBACK, KINGSBURG

Despite the loss, a new quarterback star in K Town may have emerged in Sierra, who threw for 296 yards and had four touchdown throws.

EMMETT BROOKS, WIDE RECEIVER, KINGSBURG

Brooks was Sierra's top playmaker with eight catches, 172 yards and two touchdowns in the overtime loss.

JESUS JIMENEZ, RUNNING BACK, MADERA

GREG QUEZADA, RUNNING BACK, REEDLEY

Quezada went from being held to nine carries, 17 yards in the Pirates' opening 42-14 loss to Dinuba on Sept. 5 to being the big 6-foot, 209-pound freight train who kept RHS in its contest against Madera. The senior finished with 202 yards on 17 carries and scored twice in the loss for RHS. Quezada's 202 yards is a varsity career-high for him.
