5A Central 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!
Tristan Bacon Dazzles in Kellis Win
Starting off the list is Kellis's Tristan Bacon, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Bacon rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 30 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making eight total tackles (0.5 for loss) and defending a pass.
Kellis pushed their record up to 6-1 with the win, which was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season. Bacon and Kellis will challenge Paradise Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Grant Guidry Goes Supernova in Westview Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Grant Guidry stepped things up a notch to give Westview the 'W'. North Canyon had no answer to Guidry as he threw for 302 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.6 yards per attempt.
Westview has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 4-3 record this season. They and Cibola are set to duel on Friday.

Ronald Coty Iii Makes It Two for Kellis
Another Kellis player making an appearance on this list is Ronald Coty Iii. He threw for 119 yards and four touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
If the past is any indication, Coty Iii could be in store for another big game when he takes on Paradise Valley on Thursday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Coty Iii saw the Trojans), he rushed for 83 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 35 yards and a touchdown.
