This one’s for the football junkies. The stat nerds. The ones who live for numbers.
They don’t stop at the final score — they want the details. The box scores. The breakdowns. Who threw it, who ran it, who stopped it. The ones who can’t wait to let their friends know who led San Joaquin County football in every category before the morning coffee is even poured.
Because sure, the scoreboard matters. But the numbers tell the story.
And with Week 6 approaching, there's no better time to take a look. The 2026 regular season has officially reached its halfway point.
The Record tallied the county's top passers, rushers and receivers on offense, along with the leaders in tackles, sacks and interceptions on defense.
So, who's putting up the biggest numbers
in San Joaquin County football halfway through the season?
