Greater Sacramento 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!
Tre?Von Moten Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Fairfield got the W thanks in part to Tre?Von Moten playing the best football he has all season. Moten rushed for 257 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.7 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making six total tackles and defending three passes in addition to snagging an interception.
The win was the third in a row for Fairfield, bringing their record for this year to 4-3. Moten and Fairfield will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Sacramento at 1:00 p.m. on October 26th.
