4A Soco 1 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!
Leland Frescaz Goes Supernova in Doherty Victory
Starting off the list is Doherty's Leland Frescaz, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Frescaz rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown on only five carries, and also threw for 80 yards and three touchdowns. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
On the season, Frescaz has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 200.7 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to five.

A Season-Best Performance from Ryan Siebert Leads Pueblo West over Widefield
On Thursday, Pueblo West got the W thanks in part to Ryan Siebert playing the best football he has all season. Siebert rushed for 84 yards and two touchdowns. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 64 yards.
Siebert and Pueblo West will be playing in front of their home fans against Falcon at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Siebert up against the Falcons' star running back Noah Favreau. Will the game be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Big Game from Salas As Mesa Ridge Fell 32-28
Trevon Salas continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns.
Mesa Ridge's defeat ended a six-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 5-3. Salas' next matchup is against Doherty on Thursday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Dominick Solano Makes It Two for Doherty
The second Doherty player making an appearance here is Dominick Solano, and for good reason. He made nine total tackles.
On the season, Solano has averaged 9 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 25.10
Another Mesa Ridge player making an appearance on this list is Bryce Riehl. He rushed for 51 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 157 yards and a touchdown while completing 73.7% of his passes.
For the season, Riehl has thrown 19 touchdowns while averaging 202.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 32.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 61.38 rushing yards.
