A-6 Southwest (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Kolter Cranson Dazzles in Branson/Kim Victory
Starting off the list is Branson/Kim's Kolter Cranson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cranson rushed for 141 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 82 receiving yards and two touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 66 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
La Veta's probably not too fond of Cranson given he always seems to get the better of them. When Cranson last faced the Redhawks back in October of 2023, he rushed for 314 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 18.5 yards per carry.

Brett Kendall Turns in Another Game with at Least 107 Rushing Yards
Brett Kendall's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his fourth-straight game with 107+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He threw for 308 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also made six total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
Unfortunately for Sierra Grande, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Kendall. When Kendall last faced the Panthers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 288 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 12.0 yards per carry, and also threw for 112 yards and two touchdowns.

Jadyn Martinez and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Sierra Grande picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jadyn Martinez. Martinez turned in nothing short of a gem, punching in two rushing scores, while also picking up 66 receiving yards.
On the season, Martinez has averaged 102 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 13 receiving yards per game.

Sierra Grande Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Aron Ojeda
Sierra Grande picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Aron Ojeda. Ojeda was unstoppable, throwing for 313 yards and six touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes.
For the year, Ojeda has thrown 21 touchdowns while averaging 199.4 passing yards per game.

Lucas Cordova Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Lucas Cordova posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Antonito over Cotopaxi on Saturday. Cordova picked up 146 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also made ten total tackles and defended a pass.
Antonito is on a nine-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-5. Cordova and Antonito will be playing in front of their home fans against La Veta at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
