Some teams hand out game balls or helmet stickers on Mondays during the football season.

At OCVarsity.com, we select Leaderboard Legends.

Every team in the county can nominate a player (or players) for this weekly honor. (To find out more about the award, click here.)

The O.C. stat leaders are below, and here are this week’s Leaderboard Legends:

RUNNING BACKS

Dillon Keefe, El Modena

Keefe and the Vanguards (7-1 overall) have had as good a month of October as any team in Orange County, reeling off four straight wins since their lone loss to Villa Park in late September. El Modena’s senior captain ran for 269 yards and four touchdowns last Thursday night in a 34-20 win over an improved El Dorado team to open North Hills League play. Keefe accounted for 221 yards and three touchdowns in the second half, scoring on runs of 29, 23 and 70 yards.

Raymond Serna, Anaheim

The senior running back was plenty busy Friday night in a 38-27 win over Savanna, carrying the ball 41 times for 277 yards and four touchdowns. Serna racked up season-highs in all three statistical categories, and he helped Anaheim grab its second Orange League victory.

QUARTERBACKS

Griffin O’Connor, Edison

The junior quarterback was nothing short of perfect in the first half against Marina last week, completing all 13 of his passes for 298 yards and five touchdowns. Edison built a 45-0 lead at the half, and went on to win 52-14.

Nathan Arrington, Katella

The Knights scored 56 points in the first half of their 70-40 win against Santa Ana Valley. Arrington completed 16 of 20 passes for 338 yards and three touchdowns – all season-highs for the junior.

WIDE RECEIVERS

David Atencio, McCade Barrett and E.J. Ginnis, Edison

All three Chargers wideouts hauled in 100-plus yards receiving, and they accounted for six total touchdowns in a lopsided win over Marina. Ginnis (107 yards) grabbed three touchdown passes, Atencio (116 yards) had two scores and Barrett (100) pulled in one. It was the first time in Edison history three wide receivers had 100-plus yards receiving in a game.
