Season Recap: Northern Section Top Offensive Stat Leaders

With the final games gearing up to take place tonight and tomorrow night before the state playoffs, below we will review some of the top offensive players that had stellar seasons in the Northern Section. There has been a few surprises this year as Orland is rolling into the section title game against University Prep with an unbeaten record while Foothill could be going toe to toe with the Bay Areas best in the Norcal bowl games. No matter how the section shakes out, it was a strong year for the Northern Section and there is a good chance one team brings home a state title in December.   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"/>   ATH Grant Foster, Orland HS   Foster is the heart and soul of this undefeated Orland squad, and they have a legit chance at winning a state championship at the end of the season. He is a tough and physical runner with good speed/contact balance that can impact the game in all three phases and is having a terrific Senior season. So far, he has rushed for 1,400+ yards, passed for 300+ with 20 total touchdowns. Defensively, he is all over the field from his outside linebacker position, triggers quick, takes good angles to ball carriers and is violent at the POA when making contact. He is a no brainer FCS next level player that can play on either side of the ball in college.   RB <a href="https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/daegon-gorre/U0aUQszFEeuAzqREozo6lw/football/stats.htm">Daegon Gorre</a>, Trinity HS   Gorre looks to be taking home the rushing title across the section, and had 1,724 yards on the ground with 23 total TD's. Through out the season, he was averaging 8 yards per carry and tough to bring down in the open field. Putting together back to back stellar seasons for Trinity, he has been one of the most dominant rushers the section has seen over the past few years.   RB Ryan Dyab, University Prep HS   Dyab comes in as the #2 rusher in the Northern Section but still has more games to be played as long as they keep on winning and they have a big time showdown with Orland on Saturday night. So far through this point in his season, Dyab has rushed for 1,603 and 16 TD's while adding another TD receiving and well and 53 tackles on defense. He is one of the better two-way players across the section.   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-default"/>   QB Noah Mason, West Valley HS   Passing Yards: 2,022   Completion %: 59%   TD's: 23   INT's: 9   QB Diego Sanchez, Hamilton HS   Passing Yards: 2,472   Completion %: 62%   TD's: 34   INT's: 4   WR Omar Sanchez, Hamilton HS   Rec Yards: 702   TD's: 10   WR Holden Mathews, Enterprise HS   Rec Yards: 662   TD's: 9   QB Bo Coronado, Colusa HS   Passing Yards: 2021   Completion %: 61%   TD's: 24   INT's: 8
