6A Northeast Valley 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!
Horton Made His Presence Known in Pinnacle's 62-14 Win
Starting off the list is Pinnacle's Wyatt Horton, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Horton threw for 271 yards and five touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 70 yards.
Unfortunately for O'Connor, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Horton. When Horton last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he threw for 252 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 33 yards and a touchdown.

Hayden Fletcher and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Hayden Fletcher was instrumental in extending Liberty's winning streak to four on Friday. Fletcher did his part (and then some), throwing for 335 yards and three touchdowns for the 'W'.
Fletcher will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Chaparral on Friday. Fletcher will face off against Cam Allen on Friday, the Firebirds' star QB. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

Kainan Manna Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Centennial got the W thanks in part to Kainan Manna playing the best football he has all season. Manna threw for 186 yards and three touchdowns on only ten passes.
Chaparral had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Manna it was a similar story. When Manna last faced the Firebirds back in October of 2023, he threw for 230 yards and four touchdowns on only ten passes.
