4A Grand Canyon 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!
Big Game from Tenette As Prescott Won 28-7
Starting off the list is Prescott's Uriah Tenette, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tenette threw for 203 yards and a touchdown on only 17 passes, and also rushed for 69 yards on only seven carries.
The win was the fourth in a row for Prescott, bringing their record for this year to 5-1. Tenette and Prescott will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Flagstaff at 7:00 p.m. on October 17th.

A Season-Best Performance from Reighns Stokes Leads Mingus over Flagstaff
Mingus came up short on Friday despite Reighns Stokes delivering his best game to date. Stokes rushed for 176 yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making six total tackles.
Mingus' defeat was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-5. Stokes and Mingus will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Bradshaw Mountain at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.

Coconino Gets a Boost from Buckingham in 27-20 Loss
While Coconino might've come up empty on Friday, Colton Buckingham wasn't going down without a fight. Nobody could stop Buckingham as he threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns on only 17 passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
On the year, Buckingham has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 195.4 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to four.

Adam Lloyd Makes It Two for Prescott
Another Prescott player making an appearance on this list is Adam Lloyd. He picked up a sack, made six total tackles, and defended a pass.
For the year, Lloyd has averaged 7 total tackles per game and for the season has 2 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to five.

A Constellation of Stars for Prescott
Another Prescott player making an appearance on this list is Cooper Kasun. He made eight total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Kasun and Prescott will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Flagstaff at 7:00 p.m. on October 17th. The Badgers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Eagles, probably because Kasun had a solid game then too: he picked up 1.5 sacks and made six total tackles (3.0 for loss). Can he match (or beat) that performance?
