6A Fiesta Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Brady Goodman Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Thursday, Mountain View got the W thanks in part to Brady Goodman playing the best football he has all season. Goodman threw for 150 yards and five touchdowns, and also rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now passed for three or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
The win (which was Mountain View's third in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Goodman and Mountain View will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Mesa at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
