6A East Valley Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Tait Reynolds Dazzles in Queen Creek Win
Starting off the list is Queen Creek's Tait Reynolds, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Reynolds rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also threw for 150 yards and two touchdowns. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 71 yards.
Reynolds is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Red Mountain on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Reynolds saw the Mountain Lions), he rushed for 65 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 211 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.6 yards per attempt.
