6A District 1 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!
Jordan Hatch Goes Supernova in Cleveland Victory
Starting off the list is Cleveland's Jordan Hatch, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hatch threw for 273 yards and five touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes.
Hatch and Cleveland will square off against Cibola at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Storm got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Cougars, probably because Hatch had a solid game then too: he threw for 150 yards and three touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
