5A High Country 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!
Ryder Scheibe Turns in Season-Best Effort
Emmett was led to victory by Ryder Scheibe, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Scheibe rushed for 251 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 14.8 yards per carry, and also threw for 101 yards , good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 68 yards.
For the season, Scheibe has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 121.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 45.38 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 85.63 rushing yards.

Onix Carson Dazzles in Vallivue Victory
Vallivue found a leader in Onix Carson as the squad took down Columbia on Friday. Carson was dynamite, rushing for 162 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.0 yards per carry.
Carson must have Columbia's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Carson last faced the Wildcats back in September of 2023, he rushed for 218 yards on only 12 carries, and also caught a touchdown.
