6A West Valley Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Wednesday through Monday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Cameron Mailloux Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Thursday, Mountain Ridge got the W thanks in part to Cameron Mailloux playing the best football she has all season. Mailloux rushed for 141 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries, and also threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (101.7). The dominant performance gave her a new career-high in rushing yards.
Mountain Ridge is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 7-3 record this season. Mailloux and Mountain Ridge will square off against Tolleson at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
