5A District 6 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Rio Litmer Delivers Best Effort of Season
Rio Litmer produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Highlands to the win on Friday. Litmer threw for 217 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 passes, and also rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.
This year, Litmer has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 165.7 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 63.43 passing yards per game.

O'hara Posts Huge Game in 42-17 Victory
Cam O'Hara's big game helped extend Cooper's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Conner had no answer to O'Hara as he threw for 261 yards and four touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes.
Unfortunately for Conner, this isn't the first big game they've seen from O'Hara. Back in September of 2023 (the last time O'Hara saw the Cougars), he threw for 143 yards and two touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 91 yards on only eight carries.

Keagan Maher and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Cooper picked up their seventh consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Keagan Maher. Maher was dynamite, rushing for 123 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries.
Conner had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Maher it was a similar story. When Maher last faced the Cougars back in September of 2023, he rushed for 162 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.1 yards per carry.
