3A West Metro 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!
Benson White Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Thursday, Conifer got the W thanks in part to Benson White playing the best football he has all season. White rushed for 144 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 59 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
On the year, White has thrown 17 touchdowns (and and only 2 picks) while averaging 193.4 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 68.85
Isaac Mccune Goes Supernova in Wheat Ridge Loss
Wheat Ridge had to settle for second on Thursday, but Isaac Mccune sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Mccune as he threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown.
Wheat Ridge is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-4. Mccune will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Skyview on Friday.

Bennett Wilkes Makes It Two for Wheat Ridge
Another Wheat Ridge player making an appearance on this list is Bennett Wilkes. He picked up 144 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
